Email DWF Files from Windows Explorer
To email DWF files from Windows Explorer or the desktop
1 Display the folder that contains the DWF file or files to be emailed.
2 Select one or more DWF files.
3 Right-click the selection and select Email.
The default email program opens, creating an email message. The subject
shows the name of the DWF file that you being sent. (If multiple DWF
files were selected, only the name of the DWF file that you right-clicked
on to choose Email is shown in the subject.) Each selected DWF file is
attached to the email automatically. In the email message, a link to the
free Design Review program is provided. This link enables recipients to
download the program if they do not have it installed already.
4 In the new email message, type one or more email addresses into the
To, Cc, and Bcc text boxes.
5 Optional: Modify the contents in the Subject text box.
6 Optional: Type a message.
7 Click Send.
The email message with the attached DWF file or files is sent.
Publish and Email a New DWF File from Win-
dows Explorer
You can publish a new DWF or DWFx file and email it directly from Windows
Explorer or from the desktop. To use the Publish and Email commands on a
non-DWF file, the program that originally created the file must be installed
and have built-in, DWF and DWFx publishing capabilities.
If that program does not have built-in publishing capabilities, the computer
attempts to use Autodesk DWF Writer if it is installed. (Autodesk DWF Writer
2008 does not publish DWFx files; 2009 is required.) Some supported,
non-DWF file formats include: text files, PDF files, Word documents, Excel
workbooks, and PowerPoint presentations. Only one non-DWF file can be
published and emailed at a time.
For the best DWF publishing results, use a program’s built-in publishing
capabilities.
