We use PDF creator to create PDF versions of our invoices and purchase orders through a Microsoft Access database. What we want to do is print a document to the PDF creator printer and have it automatically create a new message in our default email client without having to click on email in the pop up.
Is this possible?
I have had a look through the users manual etc but nothing is mentioned. Is it possible to do this through sending additional parameters to PDF creator.
Jools - thank you for your reply - works perfectly!
I have setup up a second printer one to save the PDF with and the other which automatically saves it and attaches it to an email. - A lot easier than trying to control the printer through VBA.
You need to go into PDFcreator Options - Auto-save
Select Use Auto-save and enter a filename and directory
And then select the Send an email after auto saving
If PDFcreator is your default printer just select print and in a couple of seconds you'll have an email with your PDF attached ready to be addressed and sent.
Just wish there was some way of feeding the email address to it as well :-(
Looks like the ability to specify a default e-mail address has been around for a while. Any chance of getting this added as a feature?
FWIW -- I have "Use Auto-save" turned on and "Send an e-mail after auto-saving" turned on as well, and Method to send an e-mail set to "Using sendmail.dll" (The MAPI interface results in an error) and I'm not getting a prompt to allow specifying an e-mail address.
The PDF or JPEG gets created, and it's obviously attempting to send e-mail because if I'm selecting JPEG output, Windows keeps asking whether I want to attach the original images or if I want to resize them before sending. (As an aside, this would be something else that needs to be suppressed -- there should be no interaction if possible -- just output and send...)
