Oh I have just NO patience for this sort of thing anymore. I just curtly tell them, THIS WILL NOT WORK. .. and also to STOP COPPING IMAGES from your competitors' web sites to use in your printed work. What the frak are they THNKING?
FYI. InDesign can export JPEGs of any current page, in the same menu as Export to PDF, just specify JPEG as the file type. [ File: > Export... > Format: JPEG ] and you can set the resolution to 72, no cropping or resizing needed! And they're RGB and show up in the Windows Mail and outlook just fine.
Of course some of the same clients who can't grok PDFs will complain that the JPEG comp is fuzzy... Somethimes you just can't win. (I can sometimes get around that with 150 dpi images, but then the file size can blow past what AOL will tolerate... LOL )
