OK, here's my question. I am creating an email link that is your typical "email this link to a friend" email link. However, I would like the link to also automatically insert a pdf attachment into the email so that the person receiving the email would have a printable version of the linked page when the receive their email.<br />
<br />
Is this possible? I don't know that I have ever seen this done and I cant find any code. Hope somebody can help. <br />
<br />
Jake<!--content-->wow.... great question. I know how to do it with server side coding, but would be really interested if client side javascript could perform this. Lets see what we get....<!--content-->how do you do this server side, incase the answer is no client side??<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

all depends on what language you want. php, asp, or cgi? all depends on what your/their server will run.<!--content-->I am probably going with asp/vbscript. If anyone could supply me with some code or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.<!--content-->
