Email Report, Form, or Map as a PDF
Modified on 2024/12/17 22:31 by Adam — Categorized as: Features
Each map, report, and form has the ability to be emailed directly from Surety and Surety Pro. This feature saves time by bypassing your personal email service to send a map, report, or form. You can send the email to more than one email address, attach multiple files, even add a personal signature.
Problems with sending Email or recipients receiving email?
How to attach a shapefile, kml, or job file to the email.
Email PDF button
¶
After generating a form, map, or report, email the document as a pdf attachment by clicking on the Email PDF button.
(note: this button will only be available if you are viewing the reports as a webpage. See:
Options Page
)
The Send Email window will appear.
Contact List

In order to add an email address to the list click on the plus icon.
Enter an email address
Designate if you are sending
To

option.

Click the trashcan button next to the email address to remove that cc'ed address.
Make PDF Non-Editable (mobile friendly)
¶
There are 2 main reasons that you can use the Make PDF Non-Editable (mobile friendly) option.
The recipient will open the attachment on a mobile device that is running IOS (Apple products such as iPads, and iPhones)
While devices running IOS would be able to open the document using a seperate app for viewing pdfs, it is not something that is installed by default on the mobile devices. This option would make the document readable no matter how or what it is opened on.
Flatten the PDF to restrict the recipient from using a basic pdf viewer to edit what is within the textboxes on the map or form.
Note: If you plan on opening the sent map using a design software such as Adobe Photoshop, DO NOT make the PDF Non-Editable.
Attach Shape File
¶
Automatically attach a shapefile, kml, or job file of the selected or drawn border by using the
Attach Shape File
link.
Select which type of shapefiles you would like included to be sent with the email.
Note: the selection will be remembered when you use the email function again.
The name of the attached zip file can also be defaulted from here so that it is named something specific every time Email PDF is used. The name will be able to be modified on a per email basis still if you set a default name.
If any of the shapefiles are being attached, the zip file name will be able to be modified on a per email basis. This is useful when sending directly to navigation systems such as AgPilotX.
Add Attachment
¶
You can add another attachment (in addition to the attached map/form and shapefiles) to the email as well as configure a signature to always appear at the bottom of the message by clicking on the Email Options link.
To Add one or more attachment simply click on the Browse button.
Locate the desired attachment on the local computer or device and click open.
You can see what files you have attached and delete them by clicking on the trash icon next to them. Image file types (jpg, png, etc.) will display a preview of that file for easy reference.
Signature
¶
To setup a signature, Click on Edit Signature
Type in the text field how you want your signature to display.
Submit the Signature by clicking on done.
The Signature will appear automatically in the message field when sending an email from now on unless it is deleted in the Email Options again.
Note: The signature text area supports HTML code to customize your signature.
Enter a subject for the email.
Enter a Message above the signature if desired.
Click Send Email to deliver the map as an attached pdf document and the message to the entered email address(es)
A message will appear letting you know it was sent.
