Attaching a BI Publisher report to an email from Apex

Question

Hello,
My Apex application runs reports using a BI Publisher server- using a defined query and rtf template.
The end user clicks on a button and a pdf report opens up- works perfect.
Now, I need the click of the button to send an email having this report as an attachment.
I am familiar with sending email from Apex + attachment.
My problem is to create the report somewhere on the server without opening in a new browser window, then to attach the report that has just been create using BI Publisher to the email.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
Thanks
Rani

Solution:
declare
datoteka blob;
st_poste number;
begin
datoteka:=apex_util.get_print_document(
p_application_id=>'183',
p_report_query_name=>'REVIEW_COORD',
p_report_layout_name=>'REVIEW_COORD',
p_report_layout_type=>'rtf',
p_document_format=>'pdf');
st_poste:=apex_mail.send(
p_to=>'[email protected]',
p_from=>'[email protected]',
p_body=>'Test',
p_subj=>'Subject');
apex_mail.add_attachment(
p_mail_id=>st_poste,
p_attachment=>datoteka,
p_filename=>'REVIEW_COORD.pdf',
p_mime_type=>'application/pdf');
apex_mail.push_queue;
end ;
