You could have the PDF open on your laptop and give the whole lap top to the guy across the table to read and reference. You could also have the printed copy of the PDf you are most typically allowed and share that just like any other physical book.Online. Transferring from computer to computer tends to be a no-no unless the particular license for a particular publication specifically allows for it. I'm not even really sure of the send it to them and then delete your copy is actually legal, as that still might constitute distribution. What you likely "might" be able to do is have your printed copy, then take a snap shop - web cam pic of a particular chart or paragraph, etc,  then transmit that. That would still be somewhat of a gray area, but be akin to sharing an except from the publication for commentary or review rather than the whole of the document.Ryan S.
