I have requirement to burst RTF report along with the static pdf attachment in the mail through BI. Both attachment and customized mail body not feasible. Hence looking for the option to embed the pdf file in RTF file to send as in the email body.

Do we have such options in fusion BI bursting report

    @Sharmava - BI Publisher does not natively support embedding a PDF directly within an RTF template. However, you can achieve a similar result using a workaround. Here are a couple of methods you might consider:

    1. Insert PDF as an Image: Convert the PDF pages to images (e.g., JPEG or PNG) and then insert these images into the RTF template. This is suitable for cases where you only need to display the PDF content without needing interactive features like text search.
    2. Link to the PDF: Instead of embedding, you can include a hyperlink in the RTF template that points to the PDF file. Users can then click the link to open the PDF separately.
