PDF

[Rich Mogy]

Hi All,
I have created a series of reports that I am printing to my Acrobat Printer
(making pdf's essentially) and then e-mailing them to the recipients.

I would like to automate this process with a couple of conditions:

1) There are 4 reports, which I manually concatenate, through Adobe, into
two sets with 2 e-mails.

2) I want this to be seamless in that one I start, I don't want to have to
respond, I just want the e-mails to go.

Any suggestions would be appreciated -- code more so

Thanks in advance

Rich Mogy

I achieved this using 2 programs,
The first is called PDFCamp which allows you to append reports into 1 PDF
file.
Then I used an activex component called Addemail from a company called
Traysoft Inc.

I did it by firstly running a batch file to delete any previous old pdf
file, then running the report based upon the details on my form, then
running the Addemail code which puts the pdf into an email and sends it,
then I goto the next record and start all over again.

I find the first email takes about 15 seconds to send but after that they go
about 1-2 a second, which I think is very fast.

The Addemail active X allows me to send the email in HTML format so I can
put links to adobe download for people who dont have it.

Hope it works for you.
