Attach PDF in email from activity which is used in job scheduler
I have a requirement where if job scheduler runs it will call the activity I created and inside activity I write steps to send email based on some conditions. In the email, I have to attach a form which is in pdf format. I took the file from data-corr-form class and converted it to pdf using htmltopdf ootb activity. Now, the pdf file is in binary format. I want that pdf file to be attached in email not to work object.

Generate the PDF in your activity and keep it only on the clipboard: run HTMLToPDF (or pxCreatePDF) to a page, capture the Base64 bytes. Create a Data-Corr-Email page (say EmailPage) and set pyTo, pySubject, and pyBody. On EmailPage.pyAttachments() add a page and set pyFileName = "Form.pdf", pyMimeType = "application/pdf", and pyAttachStream = the Base64 from the PDF page (do not call AddAttachment or save a work attachment). Optionally set pyDescription. Call the OOTB SendEmail activity (primary page = EmailPage) and pass your Email Account via parameters. Since this runs from a Job Scheduler with no work object, it won’t attach anything to a case; it just sends the email with the PDF. Log and handle exceptions, and clear the clipboard pages after send to avoid memory bloat.
