Dov:

One reasons that may persist for ZIPping a PDF is that some email tools and
transfer modes may corrupt PDF files when sent from Macintosh to PC users.
ZIP seems to protect the files from this corruption. I recall reading
somewhere today that apparently sometimes two copies of a PDF file are sent,
one of which is visible, one hidden, one is corrupt, one OK.
