Sending Reports Via E-mail (Portable Document Format)
You can e-mail reports to recipients using either Outlook
Express or Microsoft Exchange. When
you send a report, the Client application creates and attaches a portable document format (PDF)
version of the report to the e-mail. The PDF file can be easily viewed with Adobe Acrobat, which
can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe internet web site (
http://www.adobe.com
).
Note:
The full version of Adobe Acrobat must be purchased and installed on your computer in order
to create a .pdf file and send patient reports via e-mail.
To e-mail an ABP report:
1
Create a PDF file from the report using Adobe Acrobat Distiller.
2
Highlight the PDF file in the
Report Manager
window.
Note:
To select more than one file, hold down the CTRL key.
