1. Compose a new message in GMail. (If you are still without a GMail account, request a GMail Invitation code) 2. Attach any PDF or Word document that you want to convert to HTML You can attach multiple files in this step by clicking Attach another File. 3. Enter your own email address in the To: box and click send. 4. You instantly receive a message in your GMail Inbox folder. Open the message and automatically it will view your PDF attachment as HTML. 5. The contents of your attachment appear as HTML in a new browser window without having to download the file. When you're finished reading the attached file, close the new browser window to return to Gmail.
This is a great idea, except that I can't get Gmail to allow me to attach anything but pictures. Is there some setting I need to set, or some unmentioned app I have to have, to be able to email a PDF file from my G1 phone? Thanks for any suggestions. Roger H.
When I try it, it arrives with the PDF as a attachment and I can't open it. I get the option to 'Preview' it, but that doesn't open it correctly. Wonder what I'm not doing right...
I used ASTRO file manager to find the pdf, then long pressing on the file name brings up the option to send it.
