Would like to know if it's possible to send(convert) the data on the screen to a word doc or pdf format once the agents Diposition the call as sale

Asking this because some of my agents take too many time to fill in a word document (copy past) from vicidial gui and then send it from their email.

Thank you.

you could get the data from the database.

You should ask a programmer for assistance

I'm using FPDF to write pdf-files with php http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=fpdf
I guess you can trigger that when there is a SALE, I just executes the script nightly to create invoices

and yes, a programmer is needed :)

You should use a webform in the script ie jotform. Prepopulate the fields as instructed under script information in admin.php.

Then print your details from your form provider as and when required.

We've created several PDF applications in a couple different pdf generators. From complex to dirt simple. One of the advantages of installing sugarCRM a lot ... it comes with pdf generation built in and we borrowed their technique.

Pulling this data from a database is quite easy. Adding it to a dispo_url, also quite easy. It is a bit painstaking to design the original pdf layout to avoid data overlap and such, but usually not too horrible.

There are several different methods and packages. Some will allow creation of an HTML page and then convert it to PDF, some will "line by line" the creation of the PDF. Many also allow dropping in graphics or even a full PDF background (ie: the form you are filling in ...!).
