Why can't my PDF Export file be read by others?

Hi Guys -

Need some help.

Running AutoCad LT 2014 on Yosemitie.

From Paper Space I exported my drawing to a PDF File.

When I e-mail that PDF File the receiver says they can't open it, because they can't find the Source File.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

What is "source file"?
Could you post your problem PDF here?

Hi Maxin -
I found a fix.
For some reason the basic PDF reader on Mac - seems only to allow other Mac users to be able to read Mac PDFs.
What I did to solve this was to download Adobe PDF reader and made that the default. Then I re-saved my drawings and re-sent them to all parties involved.
Everyone was then able to read them. In both Windows and Mac platforms.
Thanks,
