In the previous video, we've seen how to make a DOS program printing an invoice to a PDF file including the background form.

In this video, we see how to automatically send that DOS invoice via e-mail, with or without user intervention.

Let's start:

• Start a DOS invoicing program
• Print the invoice to the printer on LPT1:
• Printfil captures the job and in its preview window you can click the e-mail icon
• Choose the options of the PDF to be emailed
• Email to be sent pops up (it's prefilled because we previously created an optional CFG file, but you can even manually insert the data in the email)
• Send the email

That's all. Now:

• Open the email client program
• The sent email is received with the invoice attached as PDF

To do the same without user intervention:

• Right click the Printfil's trayed icon and go to Configuration -> Standard
• Disable Preview and click OK
• Print again the DOS invoice
• The email is sent without user intervention
