Did you ever experience that your accounting software saves all your invoices in one large PDF document but you need to send some of the invoices by mail?

With the Aloaha COM APIs this is no problem at all since you just need to use the functions SplitPDF and AutoMailPrint of the Aloaha PDF SDK/PDF Suite Enterprise

But now it became even easier for user of the Aloaha PDF Suite Server Edtion. Aloaha introduced a new hotfolder to automate exactly the above tasks.

  1. Just drop your large PDF into the folder <Aloaha PDF Suite Installfolder>\SplitMail
    (Can be reconfigured in: HKLM\Software\Aloaha\pdf\SplitMailFolder)
  2. Aloaha will look for the PageSeperator String to find the end of the single documents. The PageSeperator String is per default === but can be reconfigured in: HKLM\Software\Aloaha\pdf\PageSeperator. A usefull seperator String would be “Kind Regards”
  3. Optional the user can specify in  HKLM\Software\Aloaha\pdf\SplitMailLetterhead a PDF used as Letterhead for the first page of the new document.
  4. After the new document has been saved Aloaha will analyse it and if it finds an email address prefixed with emailto: it will email the document to that address.
  5. If no address is found in 4 Aloaha will print/hardcopy the document to the specified printer.
