In this article is depicted the actions you need to perform in order to attach a .pdf file to a message you are sending.
This feature is only available for devices that respect the following constraints:
- WFM terminals version 1.0.1226.0 or higher
- WFM terminals with SD Cards
- WFM terminals with PDF reader application installed
Note that the .pdf files sent to the WFM terminal are saved in the Documents folder of the SD Card disk. Therefore, if there is no SD Card in the WFM terminal, the driver will still receive the message but it will not be possible to open the attachment. The driver will only see the body text of the message.
Also, the operation to download the attached file is not available if the terminal is connected via serial port.
