Not all attachments can be rendered

[Clifford Zivi]

I am using Outlook automation to send faxes via Outlook.
I need to send faxes with either a .jpg or .html
attachments but I get the error `Not all attachments can
be rendered`. I have my email format sent to send in
Rich Text Format and it works fine until I try an
attachment other than .rtf. I keep seeing something
about needing to define a "printto verb" if I want to
send other formats. Can you tell me what I have to do in
order to be able to send these types of attachments?

 

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

Neither Outlook nor the Fax Service can render graphic files for fax
transmission. You need an application that can do so using its print
routine.
You may be able to specify a printto verb if you have an application
available that has such a print routine. Do you?

 

[Clifford Zivi]

I'm not sure what you mean. I have Access, and programs
like Paint, Adobe, Corel Draw, etc. I keep seeing
references to PrintTo, like you just made, but I do not
understand what to do next.

Use Windows Explorer > View > File types to look at the file associations
for the type of file you want to render. See what the default program is for
the open verb for that file. Create a printto verb for that file type using
the same application.

Interesting. I just came across a couple of other items
you wrote to other people on this very subject. You get
around. I just created the following key:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSPaper.Document\shell\printto\command]
and set it to:

rundll32.exe <DRIVE>:\WINDOWS\system32
\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

Not I can even send an fax with HTML format, which is
exactly what I want to do. But, the print dialog box
comes up for every page. I will try your other
instructions also. How can I get rid of the print dialog
box?

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

Those instructions are only for Outlook 2003 and only for TIF files. The
method you use will depend on the format of the attachments you want to
send. That's why it's better to use whatever application your OS has set as
the default application for opening and printing that particular file type.

You need to be more specific about what you want to do and with what Outlook
and fax software.

Ok. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have an Access
application that produces a report and I would like to
send a report and one or more attachments which may
include: A Word file (maybe rtf), a web page (html or
htm). I am sending this via email those customers that
have an email address and via fax for thos customers that
have a fax number. The attachments (or pages) change
depending on the customer.

When I added the mspaper.document stuff the html rendered
when sending a fax. That's the first time that ever
worked, but the print dialog pops up.

So, since you seem to be the man that knows all about this
topic, the question is... What the heck do I have to do to
get this to work properly?

I am sending web pages as attachments. So I went to
Internet Explorer, went to the web page, did a FILE, SAVE
AS, HTML web page only. This creates an html file. I
have several of those files. I also have a word file
that I could probably convert to html also. Then I am
just using those pages as attachments. I don't know how
I could use "print to fax" in that situation. If I
`print to file' for the shared fax and get a .prn file
does that help me at all? Secondly, when I say "print
dialog", it is that window that lets you select which
printer you want to print with. It pops up once for each
attachment. The Shared fax is already hilited and all I
have to do it click OK. So, I'm very close to getting
this to work. I probably just need a better PrintTo verb
somewhere. Any ideas?

You can't. It's that very print routine that is required for rendering of
graphic files.
The only graphic files I've been able to attach without invoking the print
routine are TIF files.

Internet Explorer, went to the web page, did a FILE, SAVE
AS, HTML web page only. This creates an html file. I
have several of those files. I also have a word file
that I could probably convert to html also. Then I am
just using those pages as attachments. I don't know how
I could use "print to fax" in that situation. If I
`print to file' for the shared fax and get a .prn file
does that help me at all? Secondly, when I say "print
dialog", it is that window that lets you select which
printer you want to print with. It pops up once for each
attachment. The Shared fax is already hilited and all I
have to do it click OK. So, I'm very close to getting
this to work. I probably just need a better PrintTo verb
somewhere. Any ideas?

The only sure way to do this is to use "print to fax"
from the application
that created the document. Any reason you can't do that?
What print dialog do you mean and what steps invoke it?

Ok. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have an Access
application that produces a report and I would like to
send a report and one or more attachments which may
include: A Word file (maybe rtf), a web page (html or
htm). I am sending this via email those customers that
have an email address and via fax for thos customers
that
have a fax number. The attachments (or pages) change
depending on the customer.

When I added the mspaper.document stuff the html
rendered
when sending a fax. That's the first time that ever
worked, but the print dialog pops up.

So, since you seem to be the man that knows all about
this
topic, the question is... What the heck do I have to
do to
get this to work properly?
-----Original Message-----
Those instructions are only for Outlook 2003 and only
for
TIF files. The
method you use will depend on the format of the
attachments you want to
send. That's why it's better to use whatever
application
your OS has set as
the default application for opening and printing that
particular file type.

You need to be more specific about what you want to do
and with what Outlook
and fax software.

Interesting. I just came across a couple of other
items
you wrote to other people on this very subject.
You get
around. I just created the following key:


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSPaper.Document\shell\printto\command]
and set it to:

rundll32.exe <DRIVE>:\WINDOWS\system32
\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

Not I can even send an fax with HTML format, which
is
exactly what I want to do. But, the print dialog
box
comes up for every page. I will try your other
instructions also. How can I get rid of the print
dialog
box?
-----Original Message-----
Use Windows Explorer > View > File types to look
at the
file associations
for the type of file you want to render. See what
the
default program is for
the open verb for that file. Create a printto verb
for
that file type using
the same application.

Neither Outlook nor the Fax Service can render

using its print

You may be able to specify a printto verb if you

seems I get, "Funny, no one every tried that before". I
finally have it working nicely. I'm able to send a PDF

Faxing graphics is a model of constipation. Most graphics get rendered as a
full, separate page in Windows XP Fax. So even a 5KB JPEG will take over 10
minutes to transmit. Not many people want to put up with that.

For the record, here is what my testing has shown on faxing attachments from
Outlook 2003 with Windows XP Fax:
1. Word and Excel files transmit without a hitch. Their printto verbs
designate their native applications.
2. PPT files transmit without a hitch, but take forever because of the
graphics. Their printto verb uses PowerPoint.
3. HTML files will invoke additional user interaction because they invoke
the Print dialog. Their printto verb is:
rundll32.exe <Drive>:\WINDOWS\System32\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "%1" "%2" "%3"
"%4"

3. TIF files will only transmit after you define a printto verb for
MSPaper.Document as:
rundll32.exe <Drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

4. JPEG, GIF, and BMP files all transmit successfully without additional
user intevrntion, but of course take forever for the reasons stated above.
Their printto verb is also:

rundll32.exe <Drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

Ok. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have an
Access
application that produces a report and I would
like
to
send a report and one or more attachments which
may
include: A Word file (maybe rtf), a web page
(html
or
htm). I am sending this via email those
customers
that
have an email address and via fax for thos
customers
that
have a fax number. The attachments (or pages)
change
depending on the customer.

When I added the mspaper.document stuff the html
rendered
when sending a fax. That's the first time that
ever
worked, but the print dialog pops up.

So, since you seem to be the man that knows all
about
this
topic, the question is... What the heck do I
have to
do to
get this to work properly?
-----Original Message-----
Those instructions are only for Outlook 2003 and
only
for
TIF files. The
method you use will depend on the format of the
attachments you want to
send. That's why it's better to use whatever
application
your OS has set as
the default application for opening and printing
that
particular file type.

You need to be more specific about what you want
to do
and with what Outlook
and fax software.

Interesting. I just came across a couple of
other
items
you wrote to other people on this very
subject.
You get
around. I just created the following key:




[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSPaper.Document\shell\printto\command]
and set it to:

rundll32.exe <DRIVE>:\WINDOWS\system32
\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt
"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

Not I can even send an fax with HTML format,
which
is
exactly what I want to do. But, the print
dialog
box
comes up for every page. I will try your
other
instructions also. How can I get rid of the
print
dialog
box?

Use Windows Explorer > View > File types to
look
at the
file associations
for the type of file you want to render. See
what
the
default program is for
the open verb for that file. Create a printto
verb
for
that file type using
the same application.

Neither Outlook nor the Fax Service can

files for fax

can
do so
using its print

You may be able to specify a printto verb

Thanks for the additional info. The files DO take a
while, but since I'm just stacking them up in the fax
queue I don't care right now. Take care.

Faxing graphics is a model of constipation. Most graphics get rendered as a
full, separate page in Windows XP Fax. So even a 5KB JPEG will take over 10
minutes to transmit. Not many people want to put up with that.

For the record, here is what my testing has shown on faxing attachments from
Outlook 2003 with Windows XP Fax:
1. Word and Excel files transmit without a hitch. Their printto verbs
designate their native applications.
2. PPT files transmit without a hitch, but take forever because of the
graphics. Their printto verb uses PowerPoint.
3. HTML files will invoke additional user interaction because they invoke
the Print dialog. Their printto verb is:
rundll32.exe <Drive>:\WINDOWS\System32

\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "%1" "%2" "%3"

"%4"

3. TIF files will only transmit after you define a printto verb for
MSPaper.Document as:
rundll32.exe <Drive>:\WINDOWS\system32

\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt

"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

4. JPEG, GIF, and BMP files all transmit successfully without additional
user intevrntion, but of course take forever for the reasons stated above.
Their printto verb is also:

rundll32.exe <Drive>:\WINDOWS\system32

\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo /pt

"%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

It's the story of my life. Everytime I try something it
seems I get, "Funny, no one every tried that before". I
finally have it working nicely. I'm able to send a PDF
file with hyperlinks. In an email it works great since
the receiver can use the links, and with email it looks
good and the print dialog does not pop up. Perfect.
Thanks for all the help. I'm sure well go back and forth
again sometime soon. You DA man!!!

-----Original Message-----
Shouldn't matter. It's not very crowded in here.
You need to be aware, if you aren't already, that integration between
Outlook and the Fax Service has been largely ignored

in
both of the last two

development cycles. As a result it is not very robust and is a bit of a mess
with little or no documentation. We're hoping it gets more attention in
upcoming versions.
I don't really see many users trying to fax

complicated
graphics from

Outlook--scanned documents is about it. --

OK. I'll play with this for a while. If I need more
help should I'd start another thread?

You can't. It's that very print routine that is required
for rendering of
graphic files.
The only graphic files I've been able to attach without
invoking the print
routine are TIF files.

wrote in message
Yes. It's there; mine is identical to yours. (I just
took out the reg entry for MSpaper and it had no
effect.
maybe I'm nuts. I'd sware it did before.)

Anyway,
I

go
to outlook, type in a [FAX:number], attach an HTM file
that I saved from my website, and send the email. I
get
the print dialog box. If I hit cancel, I get
the 'CAN'T
BE RENDERED' error. If I hit OK, it sends fine. It's
the same if my email format is RTF or html. So now
what?
How do I get rid of that print dialog box?
-----Original Message-----
But if you look at File Associations for HTML files,
isn't there a printto
verb already defined for your OS?
Mine has one:
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32
\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "%
1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

wrote in message
I am sending web pages as attachments. So I went to
Internet Explorer, went to the web page, did a FILE,

file. I
have several of those files. I also have a word
file
that I could probably convert to html also. Then I
am
just using those pages as attachments. I

don't
know

how
I could use "print to fax" in that situation. If I
`print to file' for the shared fax and get a .prn
file
does that help me at all? Secondly, when I
say "print
dialog", it is that window that lets you select
which
printer you want to print with. It pops up

once
for

each
attachment. The Shared fax is already hilited and
all
I
have to do it click OK. So, I'm very close to
getting
this to work. I probably just need a better PrintTo

somewhere. Any ideas?

Printing HTML files has a bug because of which the Print Dialog pops-up. All
other image files will go through without the print dialog popping up. You
will just see a "Printing" dialog coming, which will go away by itself.
