I use Mail on my MacAir (macOS Monterey 12.4) and cannot figure out how to EMBED a document into (not attach to) an email. I've tried opening the PDF in Preview and moving it into the email, but it attaches.
Help?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
One page PDFs will automatically appear as embedded in Apple Mail. Multiple page PDFs will appear as an attachment. No way to control this.
Also, not really worth worrying about as the recipient's email client application will control wether its displayed embedded or as an attachment regardless and there is no way to guarantee how your recipient will actually see it.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
This will be frustrating to do as I have to send a 20 book chapter out embedded in the email.
So I guess I store each page as a separate PDF and put in the email?

I can't imagine receiving 20 pages embedded in an email.
You must have a very unique need to do this and your recipients must be very accommodating.
The only way I would want to receive 20 pages is as a file attachment.

I agree with you. I’m shopping literary agents for a book I wrote and so far two agencies require whole chapter submissions be embedded it in a cover email.
I think you may have misunderstood. I can't imagine an agency wanting the material embedded rather than attached. They likely want to file and share your document. It would be much easier for them to do so if it is attached as a file rather than embedded.
But I may be mistaken.
Thanks - after reading your post I went back and re-read the submission guidelines that had me flummoxed. One definitely required embedding - but only of the first 3 pages of the book. The other requires the first 10 pages of the first chapter “in the body of [my] email” which I will take to mean I can copy the text and put into the email. (Clearly I have to stop late night perusal of submission guidelines.)
thanks for your help and suggestions.
