Perhaps you're all well beyond this but we get great value out of MMAIL by Giovanni Perroti in Italy. Simple conversion to PDF and email in one step. If this "solution" has nothing to do with the problem, please accept my apologies in advance.

We have this working, but are having the "issue" where it physically prints AND emails it. We found KB 1612334 that sounds like another company also had this issue and has a work around by changing the (Retrieve printer file override command) program. By some small chance is the person who came up with this work around on this list and willing to share some more details on this work around?

If that is the case, not sure why you are here. :) Anyways. Here are more details on the process: Within the Host Print dialog, there is the Output tab where you can have it send an Email. For email you can select the type of attachment: PDF, HTML, or TXT. Normally, if you select PDF, there is a XA program that kicks in to convert the spool file to a PDF that XA then emails out. There is an option via a User Exit where a different PDF converter can be used, in our case Formtastic. With that user exit turned on and a little bit of code added, the spool file is handed off to Formtastic to create the PDF. Formtastic then hands the PDF back to XA for it to email off.
