The ACROBAT parameter of the DCPRINT ON command, you can invoke Acrobat Reader, or BullZip for a print preview. It's fabulous. But what I need is to attach the PDF result to an email.
I know how to send the emial. That is not my concern. What I want is to get a PDF to attach to an email. I am willing to use BullZip or any other tool that you recommend.
How do I avoid the preview, to only get the PDF, using DCPRINT ON?

Hi,
If you are using Windows 10 of Server 2016/2019 where Microsoft Print to PDF is available.
DCPRINT ON NAME 'Microsoft print to pdf' TOFILE OUTFILE 'c:\yourpath\yourfile.pdf'
This way the PDF is created without user interface in the map you want. So it is easy to attach it to your mail.

you can use "Mailto" to send iit to your E-Mail System include Attachment.
Code: Select all
ShellExecute( 0, "open", 'mailto:Auge_Ohr@WEB.DE&subject=Snapshot&Attachment=""'+ cUNCfile +'""',nil,nil, SW_SHOW)
it will stay in "out" - Folder until you send it
p.s. "Body" is not used here (as i send a Image )
---
i do use CDO to send "Snapshot" from Error System as Attachment
