How do you email Markups from within Internet Explorer?

Post by zardos »

When a PDF is sent to Internet Explorer - we have IE set up to open PDF-XChange Viewer in the Browser. We want to be able to use the markup tools and then use the email tool to send those markups to others.

Using the standalone version of PDF XChange - we do a save first before the markups are included in the attached PDF in email.

Since no save is allowed to the original file when using within a browser, what is the procedure to get this done?

This is not true. One can save a file from the browser plugin using the plugin's save icons.

Although the PDF-XChange Viewer menu is not shown, the toolbars are shown, and they are fully customisable. If you don't have a Save icon on the default toolbars, right-click on any toolbar and select customise. I suggest adding a Save As.. or Save Copy As... icon rather than a save icon.

In my browser (Opera), I can also use the browser's save option to save a PDF file, but this doesn't seem to work in Internet Exporer.

Thanks for your feedback.

My real problem however is how do you email Markups from within Internet Explorer? It seems that a save to the file being viewed is required.

If I add the save icon - it is grayed out.

If I use the Save As icon - the markups still are not included in the file that is attached to email. They are icluded in the new file that I saved.

The pdf that is attached to the email is from the browser cache.

If I right-click and select Document Properties and then click on the browse icon next to location the folder that opens looks like:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\7Y0Z78JN

The file that is sent view email is in the above location and I don't seem to be able to save to it.

zardos,

Seems like you will have to first save a copy of the file with the mark-ups and only after this e-mail it. Yes this is not directly through the browser but our viewer can't help it that IE (or Opera in my case) locks the file as it is working with it at the time.

Regards,
Stefan
