can i create and email a pdf?
hello, the help text is confused on this issue...
i want to create a pdf from a suitelet and then email it, but the pdf attachment arrives corrupted
var pdf_content = 'test content'; var objPDF_file = nlapiCreateFile('test_pdf.pdf','PDF',pdf_content); nlapiSendEmail(-5, -5, 'Time report', 'Time report attached', null, null, null,objPDF_file) the help text for nlapiCreateFile says "Note that when specifiying the type for an ad-hoc email or fax attachment, only non-binary types are supported (for example, PLAINTEXT, HTML, XML)"
but Example 2 for nlapiCreateFile says "This example shows how to turn a file merge into a PDF document object. The PDF can then be used as an email attachment."
