How to automatically attached multiple PDF reports to an e-mail and send

Hello.
I have a requirement to generate multiple PDF reports using Oracle Reports 6i on the web, then automatically attach these PDF reports to an Outlook e-mail and then bring up the Outlook e-mail dialog box so the user can modify the e-mail (such as adding more attachments, adding a CC, BC, change the message text) before sending the e-mail. I want to be able to initiate all these tasks from Oracle webforms 6i in a three-tier environment.
I have already read various notes and solutions but none of them address all my requirements. Examples:
1. Using OLE to interface with Outlook - but OLE does now work on the Web
2. Using Java stored procedure or UTL_SMTP - but this does not bring-up an e-mail dialog box
3. Using mailto: in HTML and web.show_document - but this does not allow you to attach a PDF file
Can you please advise on possible solutions to my requirements. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Armando

Here is a great resource for sending binaries.

You'll want to use utl_http to run each report with a destype=file and then have another procedure running to check to see when all of your reports have finished. After they are finished, you would run the stored procedure to get all of the binaries, attach them in an email and then send it.
If you want to concate all of the PDF files into one large file, you can do this with a Java stored procedure using iText.

    Use the app that you view PDFs in. I use iBooks to store and view my PDFs. I can select a PDF in iBooks, ten tap the share icon and share via email.

  • Automatically generating multiple pdf reports from single(*.rpt) report file

    Post Author: msam
    CA Forum: General
    I would like to be able to automatically pass a parameter list to a single report, and have it automatically generate multiple reports (as saved pdf files), based on the parameter list.
    Is this possible?  If so, could someone point me to some documentation?  Thanks.

    What you probably need to do is generate each bio
    individually with the
    <cfdocument...> tag just the way you want them. And
    then use some of
    the advanced <cfpdf...> functionality that allows you
    to append two or
    more individual PDF's into a single large PDF.
    Here are some resources that describe some of the
    <cfpdf...> functionality.

  • How can I attach a PDF file to an email I am replying to?

    Hi!
    How can I attach a PDF file already saved on my iPad to an existing email I am replying to from my inbox??

    If you have the PDF stored on the iPhone as a separate file you obviously also have a third party app for reading it, so you should be able to e-mail it from there.
    If it's on an existing e-mail, forward the e-mail and just change the contents but include the pdf

  • How can I attach a PDF in an email, using javascript in PDF document?

    How can I attach a PDF in an email, using an interactive button in the PDF-document?
    I tried to create a form button with the menu action 'attach this PDF in an email'.
    This Send.to-action doesn't work with Microsoft.
    Does anyone has a solution by implementing a javascript-code for this in the PDF?

    Dick,
    Thanks for your replie.
    Nice alternative, but it still doesn't work on a Windows machine when the
    mail software from Microsoft doesn't react on PDF actions.
    You can do many things in Acrobat, but it is a problem when it doesn't work
    on Windows and iPad.
    So now I am looking for alternatives like  interactive magazine software
    (based on html5).

  • How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

    how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

    The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
    Open Adobe Acrobat.
    Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
    A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
    Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
    Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
    A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
    A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

  • TS3276 When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail the pdf is opened in the e-mail, replacing the text. How do I attach it as a file?

    When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail it opens and is pasted into the e-mail. How do I attach it as a file?

    It is an attachment, it is the way Apple Mail program displays it. When you add the attachment by either using the attach clip or drag and drop, have your cursor were you want the file to be, i.e. under text you have already written.
    You can test for yourself that they are still attachments, log into the web account of your email if it as one and send an email to yourself from Apple mail with an attachment and on the web account it will show as an attachment.
