Re: Report -> Snapshot -> PDF -> Attach To PDF

I can't see why you don't simply add the photos as required to your main
report. THen you can print directly to your Fax app.

Here is my project:

I have a number of reports that are generated and sent via FAX or
EMAIL (depending on the recipient and their preference) to numerous
companies. Some of the reports need to be accompanied by photos stored
on the hard disk.

E-mail is not a problem, as I can attach several files to a single e-
mail before sending. This entire process is automated via VBA code.

Faxing is the problem, as the FAXCOMEXLib only sends one file at a
time. In the case where no photo is needed, I can skip the conversion
to PDF and fax the .SNP file directly to the company. Our fax printer
converts the multiple page .SNP into a single multi-page TIFF for
faxing. What I am wanting to do is to append the photos (when desired)
to the report at some point prior to faxing.

The code I am using to create PDF files (for e-mail) is from
http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm. I know that the PDF format
accepts attachments. The library used by Lebans is dynapdf.dll, and
according to DynaPDF's API they have an "AttachFile" function.

Here's the questions: Does anyone know if a fax printer will resolve
attachments in a PDF file as additional pages (If not, then this
approach won't work)? What are some options of attaching images to an
existing PDF file? Can anyone suggest another alternative to faxing
mixed-media to a single source - I realize that I "could" send
multiple faxes to the same company, but dislike the option as the
number of images is arbitrary.

Thank you in advance,

Kris
