Print jobs can be split into individual PDFs / emails with attached PDFs using parameter parsing.

pdfMachine ultimate provides the means to send a batch of emails with attached PDFs simply by printing a report.

This is particularly useful from Navision or legacy applications. A report which prints as a single job with multiple reports one after the other is easily split into separate PDFs or emails with attachments.

You can set the recipients, subject and body of the email from the legacy application. All you need to do is to insert a few lines into your legacy report to provide the email details and to indicate where to split the report into separate emails. pdfMachine does the rest.
