Q: PDF output/e-mails from ArtForm400

Question:
Can I create PDF files using ArtForm400?

Answer:
Yes.


From version 2000M53 ArtForm400 supports the MRGSPLFPDF command, that merges a spool file with an overlay
(or overlay selector) to a PDF file or even e-mails this merged file.

From version 2001M01 ArtForm400 even supports a very advanced type of distibution of e-mails:

a) Variables extracted from spool files can be defined and used as a part of texts or naming of the pdf file.

b) Customer identifiers can be found on different places on the page depending on the page contents.

c) Distribute the e-mails with text depending on who the customer is (e.g. depending on country).

and a lot more...

The best thing is.... It can be done without any programming at all!
