That way we can brand it with logos and lock it down so they don't change information. Also makes it easier to file them on our server so that if something happens to my e-mail we have the original document on our server. As someone who has answered many, many RFPs, I would never dream of sending it as an e-mail. It would look to me as though I just didn't have time to be bothered with going the extra mile - and from a company perspective (I have sat on the other side of the table) I wouldn't hire the company that responded in e-mail format.</p> I always return our response in a PDF file, every time.
