Email (Outlook Web)¶

PDFCreator can automatically create a new email in your default web browser with your created document attached to it. This feature uses Outlook’s API to create and store new draft messages or send it directly. In order to use this feature, the user has to add their Microsoft Account and accept some user-based permissions.

The required permissions needed to use the Outlook Web Access access are Read and write emails and Offline_access. For more on the permissions please see Add Microsoft Account

Note

For the time being, PDFCreator only allows one Microsoft account per installation.

Note

During the interactive conversion we also open a link in the default browser of the user. In this link you get an overview of the new draft. By clicking on the edit button, you can switch to the editor to edit or send the email.

Recepient(s): You can add multiple recipients (separated by commas).

Open draft in browser: You can check this box if you want to automatically open a browser with the created draft.

Send email directly: You can check this box if you want the email sent automatically (without saving it as a draft). For this to happen, the linked Microsoft account requires certain permissions. For more information, please see Add Microsoft Account.

Create draft: You can check this box if you simply want to create an email draft.

Edit subject and content: Predefine the subject and content of your email. You can use tokens with specific values of the current print job (e.g., name of the attached file). If you want to support PDFCreator, we would be very pleased if you enabled our signature, but you can also use this service free of ads.
