Pdf Creation From Transfer Description

Purpose

To create a secured textual message, encapsulated in a pdf file, from the description of the transfer.

Details

This feature allows the creation of a textual message, from the description of the transfer, which is encapsulated in a pdf file. The newly created pdf file is then sent to the recipient.

The pdf file is created after the user clicks the send button which sends the transfer to the recipient. The recipient will receive the usual transfer with an attached pdf file which would contain the description as the text message and subject of the transfer along with other details of the transfer. The description of the transfer is replaced by a generic text.

The name of the pdf file is created from the subject of the transfer while escaping illegal characters and if the user has specified nothing in the subject then the name of the pdf file and the subject in the pdf file will be "Message from [Sender's name]".

The newly created pdf looks like this:
