Several times a month I send out a group message. Before I attached a pdf file which is a flyer with the info. I would like to send the email with the flyer right there in the body of the message (not as an attachment). Haven't had any luck so far and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I have never used an email client that could open (i.e. display) pdf documents directly; so a pdf document has to be sent as an attachment, which the recipient would save and read in his preferred pdf reader. Even if there is an email client that can do this, most can't, so your efforts would be futile.

So, forget pdf; you need to copy-and-paste the body text of the document directly into your email message. You could still attach the pdf version if that's useful.
