When you're ready to send an estimate or invoice to a customer, you can either print and send the invoice to the customer or email it as a PDF or HTML attachment.
- Quicken installs the software you need to create PDFs, so you’re ready to use this method whenever you want. One advantage of this method is you can preview the form and make a few minor adjustments before you create it.
- If your email program is MAPI-compliant, you also have the option to email forms as HTML attachments (recommended), or as HTML or text in the body of the email itself. One advantage of this method is that you can create and send attachments directly from the forms you want to send. However, any logos that are part of the form won't be included in the email.
