Note: In the latest version of Win2PDF, the Win2PDF Mail Helper functionality has been incorporated in to the Win2PDF Desktop application and is no longer required in most circumstances (See How to Mail a PDF).
The Win2PDF Mail Helper application is an optional SMTP mail client that integrates with Win2PDF and supports sending email without user interaction. This application can be downloaded from the Win2PDF support download site at:
To email without user interaction, you must have the Win2PDF Mail Helper application installed and configured, you must set the email recipient address, and you must enable the "Send email - no user interaction" option.
