RFE: Ability to produce an email message with attached PDFs #36

Open eyalroz opened 4 years ago

eyalroz commented 4 years ago

Sometimes, instead of handing someone the printed calculation, we need to mail it to them. When we mail the calculation documents, we make them into PDFs (which looks more distinguished and professional plus you don't need the extra image file. Also, the text of the email can have a fixed template, with variable fields filled according to details the calculator program already has (e.g. the person's last name).

So, the request is to have a button which produces PDFs (in addition to / instead of MS-Word documents), and starts an email client with pre-entered subject, body (if that's possible), and email address if we have one.

לא בעדיפות מאחר ו1) יש אפשרות מובנית לשמור חישובים בפורמט PDF 2) מרבית החישובים לא נשלחים בדוא"ל

Certainly this is not a high-priority feature. However, note the request is not merely the production of PDFs, it is saving the user the need to copy the relevant fields into a new email message.

As for the frequency of this occurring - I'd say it's something like... 5% of the time for caregivers. However, if use of this calculator is to be expanded for Israeli workers, this fraction would likely increase.

PS - GitHub messes up the Hebrew text since it renders it LTR rather than RTL.
