This did it already, didn´t it? Or did I miss something? What is new?
A nice feature could be the “send by E-mail” in the contectual menue. I try this with a pdf, but it copied just the text in the e-mail. I had thought it would attach the pdf as pdf?
Did I miss something? Or do I have still to copy the pdf out of the database to attach it then?
The extra contextual menus we mentioned are for the Office version only. The Convert to Searchable PDF was a much requested feature. It also has a Send by Email item (identical to File > Export > as Email). If you use any of the supported mail applications for Mail Import then you will get the attachment(s) in your message.
Per chance, you are using the ones in the Scripts menus? These are not supported anymore and have been removed.
Actually, I agree with you. So, the next release will be more discriminative about when to add the text of a record to the message besides the attachment.
