Notes

  • If your email service supports Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) protocol, choose File > Send to > Email Recipient, and select documents to send. FileCabinet CS creates an email message, attaches the file, and enters the following default text into the body of the message:

    "The following files are attached to this email."

    Your firm can modify this text for all users. Individual FileCabinet CS users can also modify this text.

    The text is followed by a list of the attached documents. You can edit this text by clicking the Modify/View Email Text button.

  • If the system-generated PDF is password protected, FileCabinet CS also enters the following default text in the body of the message:

    "To protect your privacy, the attached PDF files are password protected. You will receive your password in a separate communication."

    Your firm can modify this text for all users. Individual FileCabinet CS users can also modify this text.

    The text is followed by a list of the attached documents. You can edit this text by clicking the Modify/View Email Text button.

  • FileCabinet CS will not create a PDF if you are sending an image and did not mark the Export images as Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) files checkbox, or if you are sending an embedded object.
  • If your email service is web based and does not support the MAPI protocol, save the documents by selecting File > Send to > File, create your message using the web-based email application, and manually attach the files you created.
  • Recipients can view the files through Adobe Reader version 9.0 or higher.

Note: Non-PDF embedded objects are always exported in their native file format, not in PDF.

Mark this checkbox to have FileCabinet CS combine all selected documents into a single PDF before sending. Otherwise, each document is sent as a separate PDF file.
