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
