I am looking for information how to send a report (purchase order for example) by Email without loosing the layout. The HTML solution is not good enought !! The file sent by Email has to be exactly as the preview or the print from NF. Converting the preview into a BMP file for example…I don’t know…

You could get a “PrintToPDF” utility that allows you to create a PDF file just like you were printing the report to a printer. Send the PDF file via email and then the user could print with Acrobat Reader. At the bottom of this web page : http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html you will see a list of Windows PrintToPDF tools.

We tested two PDF generators. PDFMAILER (http://www.pdfmailer.com) WIN2PDF (http://www.win2pdf.com) I think both are good and cheap enough. Regards, Jesús Soage

There is a product called Reform that Navision-US is offering. I don’t know what is happening in other countries. However, you can check out the product directly at http://www.fabsoft.com. It will re-format any report (e.g. to add color) and has options for sending the report out via e-mail or fax. Edited by - Jack Reynolds on 2001 Jun 05 14:53:37

LaserNet is a complete system for electronic design, print, and maintenance of forms (Notes / Exchange). The software is installed with Windows NT or Windows 2000. Among other things, LaserNet has the unique feature that you may distribute your print on a network or send it as a mail or a fax. You may also store your documents in an electronic archive. In general, you shall make no changes in the data stream from your present EDP system, as LaserNet in an intelligent way can handle even advanced functionalities such as calculations, change of pages, ODBC, Java-script, etc. Makes it possible to send all finished forms automatically through standard mail systems that support Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes. The form is attached to an e-mail in PDF-format (Portable Document Format), and address, subject, and contents are filled in automatically based on information received from the data stream.

I recommend using Acrobat Distiller. It’s flexible and powerful enough for documents circulation automation. You can see the C/AL code example at the link below:
