See MVP Jack's response, but I would add two things:

1. If you need a pdf authoring program, I recommend the free cutepdf.

2. the statement "no one can open or view the attachment unless they".
use Windows Vista as well"is not correct. What operating system that they
term is not relevant, and it doesn't have to be the same operating system
than the one that you are running.

What version of Word are you running? In this case, Word 2007 or 2010, when
you save a document, the default format is not .docx. doc. If you are
send .docx (or .xlsx) files to a person running an old
version of Word or Excel, except if they have installed the Microsoft «»
Office for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 file compatibility pack
Formats.

Alternatively, if you want to send files, you can save the files
in the formats .doc and .xls instead of the new .docx and .xlsx formats.
but make a "Save as" instead of a 'save' and choosing the elder
format.

Thus, it may well be that you simply have to do the above and not worth
sending to all .pdf files.
