How to E-mail Reports from MAS90 2

[bredak]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to E-mail reports from Mas90 to another person? Do you need a special program to do so? Thank you.

Hi. The simplest way to do this is with an Acrobat PDF maker. Print to a PDf then send the PDF as an attachment.

You can find free PDF makers on the net.

If you want an automated process take a look at

It will allow you to email the results of a crystal report from mas90 in various formats. Set it up as a scheduled task and you never has to touch it again.

I've used it and it is excellent.

Forgive me if I am mistaken but, I believe Mas90 may have a built in PDF converter, accessible through print preview (see the export / mail icon).

The only problem for us is that the crystal report doesn't support linked image files (linked via html or equivelant) otherwise we would have the printing users electronic signature file (.gif) presented. Anyway.

P.S. We are using Print2PDF 2003 (workstation, though there exits a server too) to convert documents (of any type that can be printed) to PDF. The main pro: you can use electronic signature files (bmp, gif) as "stamps" on the first, last or first & last page printed. The cons: Print2PDF 2003 does not support transparent gif's and the final PDF output is a GLOB, not text, usually having a larger footprint and you can't copy & past the text as you reference it later.
