Probably the easiest way is to get a copy of PDF995 and create a PDF file to send. Links for the program which can be used for free are in the Downloads section.

PDFs can be read by most people as there is a free reader from Adobe.

It is easy to use once installed you just select it to print to from any program (including FH) and you will get a pdf file you can attach to your e-mail.

As I said you can go via the Links section of this site.

It is a program which creates PDF (Portable Document Format) files when you print to it.
Direct link is
http://www.pdf995.com/

It explains what it does in some detail.
