Hi Guys.

Thanks to the great help from the guys at IT, I've got a new feature that's getting a great reponse from my clients.

here's a link that I can keep available for a bit. It's not pretty, but you'll get the idea: http://blakemachinery.com.au.tmp.anchor.net.au/tell_a_friend.php

The basic concept is that we have a standard page that looks good in a browser. With the PDF plugin, we can make a printable version of it... just a different style sheet, no navigation ect etc.

With the attached code, we can send that PDF brochure to an email address.

I've pitched it to clients in a number of ways;
1. Simply "tell a friend" function for a product / service page
2. Customised PDF documents. A client wants to select a range of product items, a price level, add client name etc and print the personalised letter and price list and send to the client.
3. Build a post-card. From a gallery of photos, choose a photo, add some text via a form and press send, the photo with text overlay (with font replacement so it looks nice) and sends a "postcard"
4. Coupons. The ability to customise an "offer" and send a unique printable coupon.

Hope it helps someone!
Cheers,

Tim (toledoh.com.au)
