PRINTING

To print a document in SalesPad with PDF attachments:

1. Create a user defined field with a PDF attachment

Note: You should have a user defined field on Item Master and Sales Line Item with the same name (example: uf_ItemAttachment). Refer to the SalesPad User Defined Fields document for instructions on creating user defined fields.

1. Create a sales document
2. Click the Print button on the sales document. The Print Sales Document Report menu appears

1. In the Print Options column, select the appropriate option from the Print Attachments drop-­- down:
   • Print All – Prints all attached PDFs
   • Print None – Will not print any attached PDFs
   • Report Controlled – Prints only the PDFs referenced in a custom script within the designed report
2. Click the Quick Print button
3. The first time you set up the PDF attachment print functionality, you must locate the installation .exe for Adobe™ Acrobat Reader on the screen that appears. Select this file and click Open

The sales document and attached PDFs will print.

Note: After the initial path for Adobe™ Acrobat Reader is set, it cannot be changed, except by changing the system registry.
