I am using PDFCREATOR to generate a PDF file and then email it to the
customer.
However, I need the emailing process to be even more automatic, namely:
As it stands today, PDFCREATOR needs the generated PDF file to be saved,
and then opens the default email program, attaches the pdf file and the
user is forced to enter the email address of the customer.
My client would like the software to receive the email address
automatically (from a VFP table or a SQL Server table), so the process
of generating the pdf file and emailing it to the client is almost
automatic.
They presently experience a lot of errors in the email addresses,
because the users often make mistakes, especially when approaching the
end of the day.
So is there any FREE software that can receive the order to generate a
pdf file, an email address and send it without a lot of human intervention?
Or is there a way to send the email address directly to the email
software (via PDFCREATOR or otherwise?)
TIA
Rafael Copquin

I am using the CDO email construct built into Windows within a VFP 9 form very effectively to email my Atlantic Salmon fly of the week mailing list to nearly 200 recipients from a VFP table of recipients and a table of text and attachments. I can send text and multiple jpg/pdfs/doc/txt attachments automatically.
If you wish to see the code I can email you directly.
Best regards,
Jack Skelley

Hi Rafael,
I use this to create the PDF with no user input:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms947696.aspx
Here are other options:
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~PDFdrivers
Then you can use Outlook Automation (if the client is using Outlook), or
any of these suggestions to send the email with the PDF attached:
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~AutomatedEmail~VFP

Our software creates a PDF on disk using Amyuni PDF Creator, then I have
an add-on that uses Craig Boyd's MAPI FLL to pick that up and send it
silently by automating Outlook. Works great.
