How
does PDF-eXPLODE work?
PDF-eXPLODE
turns paper and electronic documents - invoices, statements and
other reports and correspondence - into secure e-mails that are
sent to customers all at once. Instead of printing, sorting,
stuffing and mailing stacks of paper, or e-mailing documents
one-by-one, PDF-eXPLODE uses the computer to do the work.
|
1. Print |
With the click of
your printer button, PDF-eXPLODE takes a report or a word or
mail merge document and, instead of printing it, converts it
to a master PDF document.
|
|
2. Explode |
Next, PDF-eXPLODE
“explodes” (i.e. bursts or splits) the master PDF into
individual PDF attachments based on hidden e-mail tags in the
original document
|
|
3. E-mail |
Then PDF-eXPLODE
distributes each individual PDF either via e-mail, a shared
drive on your local area network or FTP (available soon) to
the designated recipients
