You can always convert to pdf. He will not be able to edit the 
schematic, but he can always view it. There are lots of free utils out 
there to create or read pdf files.

Isn't expressPCB designed to prevent you from doing that?  I was under the 
impression that one of their main design goals was to lock you into using 
their services.  The ability to export to a 'real' CAD program would run 
counter to that. I didn't think they even produced standard Gerber files 
much less allowed export into any format that could be read intelligently 
by any other program.
