To my knowledge the format is proprietary and not public. There are pdf printer drivers available, some for free that you can use to create pdfs.

You can email it to yourself and you have the pdf.

If you are having problems with your email and you are a bit more technically adept, the pdf is created in

My Documents\Simply Accounting\forms\CAN2016

or insert year of version you are using. If the email process stops, the file might still be there until you hit a cancel button, then it is deleted.

Nah, emailing is the problem. It is extremely buggy on Windows 10. It works fine, then one day it stops. Frustrating.

I am trying to take it away from MAPI and just make my own smtp direct send. Need access to the Invoice PDF. The 2016 version does NOT create any PDF in documents/Simply Accounting/CAN2016 when pressing emails

My SA folder has "Backups", "forms" and "Messages" in it.

I can get the invoice data but don't want to create a PDF "from scratch", I'd rather use the Email template already in use (and if that gets updated at some point it'll just continue to work).

Thanks,

Erwin

Erwin,

I'm not using Win10, I'm on Win7 right now but I believe it works the same on my Win8.1 machine. I hit the email button in Sage 50 2016.2 and after I confirm the message and email address and hit Send, I get the pdf created in the folder Randy shows in his message. This happens whether you turn on the Export CSV files option or not.

By the time my Outlook security message comes up, the pdf is already there called invoice.pdf. I know your system is not working quite right but maybe the creation of the pdf is the problem you are having and that is why it is not working. When I tell Outlook to Deny, the pdf stays after I get the error messages.

When I use TrackFolderChanges in C:\ and press the email button, the only Invoice.pdf that gets generated is in a temporary folder of my email program. Nothing is getting generated in any Documents or Simply Accounting folders anywhere. Strange.
