Printfil Manual - How to send print jobs via e-mail

Chapter 10 - How to send print jobs via e-mail

Your legacy print jobs can be sent via e-mail simply by selecting any "e-mail printer" as destination printer (Acrobat Distiller, GotoMAXX etc.).

When Printfil is set to export the jobs in PDF format by its own virtual printer (please see the previous chapter), the jobs can also be sent via e-mail by using the standard e-mail client installed on your machine.

Any MAPI standard e-mail client can be used, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and many others.

When PRINTFIL is configured to show a preview of the print job, the E-Mail button in the preview window, after creating the PDF file, will automatically attach it to a newly created e-mail message. You can then complete the message (adding the destination address, subject, body etc.) and send it.

When PRINTFIL is configured to create a PDF file without user intervention (and without preview) you can send it via e-mail by using the optional CFG file, as described in Chapter 3.

Please note that Printfil gives an higher priority to Microsoft Outlook then to others MAPI clients eventually installed on your machine when deciding which e-mail client has to be invoked.
If Microsoft Outlook is installed on your machine, but you are used to use another MAPI client (like Outlook Express or Thunderbird), then you can avoid having Printfil invoking Outlook by changing the EMailClient entry in Printfil.ini as described in Chapter 4.
