Automatically add pdf to images

[JLM]

I have my own program for viewing xrays because they come from many different sources (cdr,sidexis,vixwin,digirex). One of my goals is to make it as easy as possible to create a referral pdf with embedded xray(s) and automatically add it to opendental without having to import it manually. Is this possible?

The only way that would be possible is to make your program like a plug-in and include a dependency to OpenDentBusiness.dll and call the necessary methods to save an image.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Way too much work. Maybe I'll add a suggestion for a "automaticallyAddToOpenDental" folder (like iTunes). Drop a wee bit of xml in there that points to the file, the desired folder and the patientID and it gets added like magic. A guy can dream, can't he?

The more our software works like magic the better.
