E-mailing Report to Customer Who Does
Not Have DigiTrak LWD software
The DigiTrak LWD software is able to generate a printed report or an electronic copy of your file, as
discussed above under “Printing and Previewing Project Files.” In addition, electronic project files can be
sent to and opened by anyone who has the DigiTrak LWD software.
If you want to send an electronic copy to a customer who does not have the LWD software, we suggest
you use a document-generating printer driver to create a PDF file using any of the following:
PrimoPDF
– This free software is available for download online at www.primopdf.com. With this
software installed, you can print the report to PrimoPDF instead of your printer and save the
report as a PDF file. This file can then be attached to an e-mail message. Please refer to
PrimoPDF for instructions in the use of this product.
Bullzip PDF Printer
– This free software is available for download online at www.bullzip.com. With
this software installed, you can print the report to Bullzip PDF Printer and save the report as a
PDF file. This file can then be attached to an e-mail message. Please refer to Bullzip for
instructions in the use of this product.
Microsoft XPS Printer
– Microsoft has generated a nonstandard encapsulated postscript format
called *.xps. It is a standard Windows component and will probably appear in your printer list.
Only Microsoft Internet Explorer can present this document type without a translator. If IE is not
your default web browser, then you or your customer may not be able to view this file type.
Please refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Print-to-the-Microsoft-XPS-
Document-Writer for instructions on use with your specific operating system.
Additional information can be found at the website: help.digitrak.com
Once you have a document writer installed:
1. From the
File
menu or the toolbar, select the print option to open the Print dialog box.
2. Under Printer at the top, use the pull-down menu to select your PDF writer or Microsoft XPS
Document Writer.
3. Click on the Properties button to open the properties dialog box, and then select portrait or
landscape orientation (landscape is recommended).
4. Click on OK to save the orientation and close the properties dialog box.
5. Click on OK to save the file as a *.pdf or *.xps file type. The Save As dialog box will appear.
6. Input the name for your file in the file name text box.
7. Choose the location/folder where you want to save the file.
8. Click on OK to save the file.
9. Attach the saved PDF or XPS file to your e-mail message. The customer can view the file in a
PDF compatible viewer such as Adobe Acrobat or a Microsoft XPS compatible viewer such as
Internet Explorer.
As an alternative to e-mailing a PDF or XPS file, the printed document can be scanned and attached to
an e-mail message.
