Any document that can be printed can be saved as a pdf file and then attached to an ordinary e-mail. This is useful if there is no built-in e-mailing facility for the type of document concerned or the Intuit e-mail server is down.
To do this, download and install a pdf virtual printer like cutepdf writer or PDFCreator (both free) or, my preference, pdf995 (also free but you'll end up paying the $10 to get rid of the intrusive advertising), and it'll automatically be added to your list of printers.
Then open the document you want to e-mail and click Print or CTRL + P. A window will come up giving you the choice of which printer you want to use. Select the pdf virtual printer and click Print again. The document will not actually be printed; it will instead be saved as a pdf file (with a filepath of your choice) and you can then attach it to an ordinary e-mail. Or your pdf virtual printer may have an option which automatically opens an e-mail with the pdf file already attached.
