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'll see how to automatically send such invoice via e-mail, with or without user intervention.

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
