I am trying to send my email attachment as pdf...?

[bgreen]

I want to send a FSG report as an attachment as pdf how can I do this? (right now it is txt)

Another option would to format the font size of the txt file but I am unsure how to do that also.

code I am using:

sendmail -t << EOF
To: ${RECIP}
Subject: Budget Variance Report for ${PREV_MTH}

$(uuencode /ora_common/${ORACLE_SID}/out/o${REQ_ID}.out \ ${line}_${PREV_MTH}.pdf)

EOF

I would rather user mail program but essentially it shoud work. I use Outlook on my desktop PC, and mails sent from AIX boxes containing uucode segments appears to have attachements in them.

Your script does not do the same?

By the way, there was another topic in here about creating mails with MIME attachements.

Here is the topic: Mail attachment from UNIX

thread80-646913 there is much more if you search this forum for words &quot;UNIX MIME mail&quot;

--Trifo

Is your text file in a PDF format? If not then you will need to run this past a PostScript utility first to create the PostScript Data Format file.

After that you can send the PDF file as an attachment using something like uuencode of mpack, or even a homebrew script as suggested above.
