The PDF Extensions Pack functions includes two right-click functions that put creating and emailing PDF versions of documents stored in SharePoint just a single click away.
Send As PDF
The Send As PDF plugin for MacroView DMF and MacroView Message allows you to send documents in SharePoint as an email attachment converted to PDF with a single right-click in the DMF Explorer or DMF Outlook pane.
You can read more about the efficiency of Send As PDF at the MacroView blog.
How Send As PDF works
Send As PDF adds a new option to the Send As right-click menu in DMF.
Selecting the Send As > PDF option opens a new email message with the selected document(s) attached and converted to PDF format.
Copy As PDF
The Copy As PDF plugin for MacroView DMF and MacroView Message allows you to create a PDF copy of documents and images to SharePoint with a single right-click option in the DMF Explorer or DMF Outlook pane.
How Copy As PDF works
Copy as PDF adds a new option in the right-click menu.
When you select and right-click a document or image that can be converted to PDF, the Copy as PDF option will become available. PDF documents created through Copy as PDF will be saved in the same directory as the original source.
If you select an existing PDF document or a file that cannot be converted to PDF, the option will be disabled.
