No need to zip a pdf-file. It won't become much smaller.
You would need to tell details about the autoresponder to get good help. All I can say: you need to use a relative filename and not use a drive-letter (like c:), because that would point to the local hard disk of the receiveer.

Hello,
I have a zipped file for a pdf document on my computer.
I would like to make a link to add to my autoresponder
so that people who opt in can download that pdf file.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
