How to automatically create and email a PDF
Posted by Craig Lebakken on 25 August 2016 09:19 AM

To create and email a PDF with no extra prompts, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Win2PDF printer for the auto email feature. To do this, run "Add Win2PDF Printer" from "Start -> All Programs -> Win2PDF" and name it something like "Win2PDF Auto Email". 
  2. Download and run the free Win2PDF Mail Helper add-on:

  3. Configure the Win2PDF Mail Helper with your SMTP server:

  4. Print to the new Win2PDF printer that you created in step 1, and enable the Auto-name feature to prevent the file save window from popping up:

  5. In the File Save window, check "Send file" and optionally "Delete after sending".
  6. In the Win2PDF Mail Helper, check the "Auto-send email" checkbox before clicking send. This will use the same email address for all future emails.
