PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance Forum

I posted this in another note, but it's really a new topic.

--------------------------------------

I would like for this to work similar to "print to fax" printing on your PC.

For that, when you print to a fax, it brings up a form to let you put in the telephone number of the recipient. You can also search your address book to find the recipient and you can choose multiple recipients, much like an email CC, BCC, etc.

Once you choose your recipients, you next choose whether you want to include a cover sheet. Pick the style of the sheet and then type in your cover letter details.

Once finished, it sends the fax to all the recipients with the cover sheet.

This appliance would be wonderful if you could do it the same way.

Any time I have a sales person who wants to send a quote or our accouting wants to send an invoice... We currently print the quote or invoice, scan it to a PDF, and email it to the customer with a note saying what it is.

If we could print directly out of our accouting package to this appliance, put in the users email address, and type a cover note for it..  It would be very useful as a business appliance.

If you own quickbooks, which is the most popular small business accouting package. They offer the ability to send an email quote, invoice, etc.. However, it goes through their email service (not your own) and many people have complained about delayed emails, etc. Not to mention you can't put in a cover sheet, or a letterhead or anything like that.

This would be a way to do the same thing, but have more features and could be marketed to small businesses for that use.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Why don't you want to use it this way: Print your invoice to PDF, get it by email and then forward it to your customer (if needed with some "cover notes")?
