PDF File as Attachment thru Shell Script

Hello there,
there is a requirement that we need to send the output(PDF format) of an RDF as an attachment to the concerned users. I have taken one Main Concurrent program from which i am submitting another concurrent program for the RDF. Once the output is generated into its respective path, i am passing that path to the UNIX HOst Concurrent program (which is also submitted from the main Concurrent program after the report's one).
HOst Concurrent program is picking the file (for eg o435678.out) and sending that output to the users email's inbox as text (in unreadable format though) but not as a PDF attachment. I want to know anyway out there that the file be sent as PDF attachment. what else need to be done either in shell program or somewhere else. Plz let me know
Your help appreciated
Thank you

What is the application release? OS?

Plz let me know What is the extension of the attached file?
Can you open the file if you change the extension to PDF? If yes, just rename the extension to PDF and try again.
Thanks,

Not able to send pdf file as attachment in my apple mail.

Hi, I was easily able to attach pdf files to my apple mail. infact I could just open a pdf file and then send it as attachment in the email earlier. but after downloading and upgrading to os X Mountain lion, I am neither being able to attach and send pdf files in my apple mail, nor can I send PDF file as an attachment.
Is there any issue with OS X Mountain Lion.
Issue 1. I compose Email , then click attach > Browse > select pdf file > click attach > it shows in my Email body either as an icon or as first page of the pdf document > I send it. >>> But when the receipient opens the Email, that pdf attachment is missing. In fact When I put a cc to my self and I open the Email, the attachment is mssing in the incoming E amil.
Issue 2. I open the PDF document > Click on File > send as attachment in E-Mail > on right, a menu appears where I select the File and click attach> I get a message
The SendMail doesnot know how to talk to your default mail client. Please select a different mail application to use. Attaching a screen shot.
I never had these issues earlier with my Lion OS . but since the time I have upgraded to mountain Lion OS, I am having these issues.
Are these the Mountain Lion issues, how to fix these please.

I believe, the software team forgot to put a button for send or share as an attachment to preview.

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

Install 3rd party PDF iFilter for index PDF file as attachment in e-mail (msg)

I have called Microsoft Permium Support, base on the reply, SharePoint 2013 does not support to index a PDF file attachment in E-mail (msg) except 3rd party iFilter installed. And they finally told me how to edit Windows Registry for install the Adobe iFilter.
But, the Adobe iFilter is too weak to call large PDF files. So, I would like to install and try the Foxit PDF iFilter, but I cannot find an installation guide for this 3rd party ifilter with SharePoint 2013.
Does anyone here have the experience for Foxit PDF iFilter with SharePoint 2013 can help me?
I am not sure it is bug or feature in SharePoint 2013, but in case I still have to install 3rd party iFilter for index PDF file. I have no idea what is the out of box pdf file indexing support for.

You ca plan to use Foxit.
steps are nearly the same which we use in sharepoint 2013
1. We need to update registry for pdf . Registry value is {987f8d1a-26e6-4554-b007-6b20e2680632}
2. we need to install the foxit ifilter
Here are steps for same
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2293357
3. run below command:
net stop spsearch4
net start spsearch4
net stop osearch14
net start osearch14
Check below:

How to Sender PDF file as attachment in Payload?

Hi Experts,
     After I done some of PI scenarios, I'm stuck with one of my requirement... In requirement, "Web service" will send request to "SAP ECC 6" in order to get PO document print out in PDF file by call smartform or any form printing as usual.
     In my understand, I'm using SOAP adapter as sender and RFC adapter in receiver side, in RFC function, I will call form and generate PDF file by using normal ABAP function, but here, how can I send PDF file as response message of SYNC call from web service.
     I try to search and read some of document and blog, some said I can attach file as Payload attachment, but no clear solution or guide to do so.
    Here is example blog that I found, I really useful
       /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
    Please suggest me in my case,
Thanks in advance...
Cheers,
Terry

Hi,
>>In my understand, I'm using SOAP adapter as sender and RFC adapter in receiver side, in RFC function, I will call form and generate PDF file by using normal ABAP function, but here, how can I send PDF file as response message of SYNC call from web service.
as per my blog you can attach PDF to a message only if you use abap proxy on ECC and not RFC
the code is just copy and paste from my blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
so there is nothing spectacular there

Adding PDF file as attachment to SOAP message

Hi,
I want to add a pdf file from the hard disk to a soap message as attachment. I have the following code:
// CREATE MESSAGE
SOAPMessage msg= fac.createMessage();
SOAPEnvelope nEnv= msg.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();
//READ FILE FROM THE HD
String pdfFileName = "somepdffile.pdf";
FileReader fr = new FileReader(pdfFileName);
BufferedReader buffr = new BufferedReader(fr);
String sPdf="";
String line = testB.readLine();
while(line!=null)
sPdf += line;
line = testB.readLine();
//WRITE THE FILE TO BYTE ARRAY AND THEN TO STREAM
byte[] pdfData = sPdf.getBytes();
ByteArrayInputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(pdfData);
//CREATE ATTACHMENT ADD THE STREAM AS CONTENT
AttachmentPart attPDF = msg.createAttachmentPart();
attPDF.setContent(stream, "application/pdf");
msg.addAttachmentPart(attPDF);
return msg;

.pdf file changed into .tmp when trying to send pdf file as attachment

Dears,
A few days now, .pdf files are exported as .tmp files if we try to send them as attachment directly from the adobe reader plug-in in internet explorer 8.
Unfortunatly Outlook interprets .tmp files as harmfull, so we are no longer able to send pdf files directly.
(screenshot in attachment)
Is there any chance we can configure this so, pdf files are exported as .pdf instead of .tmp
More details:
OS               : Win XP SP3
browser        : ie 8
plug in          : Adobe PDF Link Helper (not sure this is the one that provides us the pdf reader functionallity dough)

I cannot reproduce that (Adobe Reader 11.0.3, IE8, Win XP-SP3). In fact, I cannot even see the Attach to Email option, but the file name is correct.

Help? Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard - just purchased for windows 7 now I can't open pdf files or attach?

Help!!!
I just puchased the latest Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.
I put in the Serial Key number but my computer tells me that a qualifying product could not be found on my computer so I can't use the adobe product. So now I can't open any files or attach pdf files onto emails without this message coming up. I've un-installed the "Adobe Acrobat XI Standard twice! with no luck.
I need it sorted ASAP as I'm trying to work! Any suggestions?

DotBellaParis if you are being asked for a qualifying product then it would appear you purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Standard. You should have the opportunity to enter the serial number for your previous purchase of Acrobat. You can find information on how to locate your previous serial numbers at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.
If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade then I would recommend submitting a return request. You can find more details on submitting a return at Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/return-cancel-or-change-order.html.

echo 'FTP process is not successful'
fi
else
echo 'log file generation failed'

Thanks for ur reply
Actually i did a mistake in the code i wrote the following piece of code below
ret_val=`ftp -n> $file.log <<E
#ret_val=`ftp -n << !
so after the tilde symbol it as again taking the '# ' as a special character so it was giving error, so i removed the second line now its working fine.
