It could be a Verizon problem. But, as MrHoffman suggests, first make sure that you have Group Messaging and MMS enabled in Settings>Messages. Sending attachments to people with Android phones is different than sending them to people with iPhones, which uses iMessage.

Sending pictures (jpegs) is different than sending large documents. A quick internet search indicates that you cannot send pdfs via SMS/MMS using Verizon.

I can't speak to how using your computer to collect data from instruments would affect how you use it but working on a manuscript shouldn't prevent you from using email to send something if it fails when you try to send it from your phone.

Ensure both SMS and MMS are enabled. Settings > Messages

Past that, ensure the recipient is also accepting the SMS and MMS messages.

Then check with the recipient's carrier, if the messages are getting to other carriers.

I've never been successful in sending documents via the Messages app. Try emailing it to your colleague.

If there is any embarrassment awaiting here, lies with the person that can’t manage downloading a PDF from the internet.

Here, I’d wonder if the person that somehow can’t download a PDF from the ‘net has other issues with their environment. Like they’ve filled up their available storage quota, for instance.

Print out the PDF, staple it, and hand it or snail-mail it to the recipient, like it’s 1993.
