PDF Output is being sent in .out format as mail attachment through Oracle

Attachment is being sent in .out format for PDF file

Currently, there is no such function in EBS to generate report output file extension in the mail as anything other than .out.

Workaround:

The delivery option is coming from xml publisher API , and if the report is generated by xml publisher, it will generate two output file, one is the output of the request, an .out file and the other one is generated by bi publisher, which may be a .pdf file or an .xls file. The API then attach  the correct file in the mail, but when the report is generated by oracle report, though it is a pdf file, it is an .out file in the file system and API attach it in the mail.

Simple is, If the report is generated by xml publisher , the pdf format output will have a output file as .pdf. In the case, the delivery API would send the pdf output in the email as the attachment with .pdf . So you may need to generate the report output from Oracle*Report by xml publisher.

Register Report in XML Publisher in .rtf format and make Default Output view & Preview Format to PDF.

In concurrent Program, select Output Format as XML and run the Report. Email will be sent in .pdf format
