Email a UBE to a client

Is there any simple way to forward the output of a UBE to an e-mail address? Currently, we're setting up Acrobat 5.0 for this reason, because it has the 'save as' facility. User can then save it from the Citrix server to his local drive (mapped to v and attach that to an email.

NB: We're running all UBE's on the (AIX) enterprise server.

One way seems to be to use workflow management. Had a brief look at it and came to the conclusion that it needs more than just a brief look!

TIA,

Lambert,

I believe you're asking if there is a simple, easy way to have the output of a UBE automatically emailed after completion.

The good news is that there are ways to do this.
The bad news is that its not simple and coding is required.

Search the forums using keywords UBE and EMAIL. This subject has come up many times before.

Regards,

You should not need the 'Save As' functionality from Adbobe since, when a client views a UBE that was ran on an Enterprise server, the PDF file is copied to the PRINTQUEUE directory (ie. C:\PRINTQUEUE).

A temporary automation solution might be to mount the Printqueue directory from the AIX server as a drive letter on an NT server and then write and schedule a VB script to do the work.

We use a piece of software called Esker Pulse. When OneWorld prints to Pulse, we've set rules up so it recognises the document type, retrieves the prefererred distribution method and either emails or faxes the document. Quite simple to use and it fills a big gap in JDE for us.
