Dear Experts
I have a requirement that a flat file need to be send as an email attachment.
The trick is the client wants the flat file (.txt) to be sent as a PDF!
is it possible in SAP PI 7.1?

Hi Sourabh,
using the itext library and java mapping this can be done. Please refer to this blog for more details. http://scn.sap.com/community/pi-and-soa-middleware/blog/2009/05/17/trouble-writing-out-a-pdf-in-xipi
Please kindly remember to rate the blogs in case you find it useful.

Hi again.
If you go for the iText solution, remember that the product is not free (even though it is open source): http://itextpdf.com/terms-of-use/

Hi.
Greg is correct. The task is not trivial but doable.
An alternative to iText is PDFBox : http://www.printmyfolders.com/Home/PDFBox-Tutorial
refer below blog and it's might be helpful :

I didn't know that feature, but it looks really promissing with this particular requirement. Thanks for mentioning that!

Hi,
This won't be an easy task, since you would have to convert the text file to the PDF in Java, for instance as it was described here:
