Documents can be sent to a printer, file or fax, displayed with a PDF viewer or sent by email.

The translation mechanism for items and foreign language templates can be set for each customer/vendor so it is possible to generate invoices in a foreign language without knowledge of a foreign language. This translation facility can also be used to generate different forms for a group of customers/vendors.
