Hi Helios,

Can you try to add the PDF as an attachment and then use <object> tag to display this.

Use the attachment name in 'data'.

Thanks,

Shambu

Hi Helios,

I never saw an email with pdf embedded in the body. Mails are plain text, HTML or some kind of Microsoft format. None of them can have a portable document file PDF in the body.

Procedures to attach PDF files to CL_BCS mails have been discussed here over and over again. Also, everybody knows that SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 is an outdated, unsupported function module.

Regards

Clemens
