Invoicing API: Attach invoice PDF to email?

[Eleven41]

Hello,

I am using the PayPal Invoicing API to send invoices to my customers.

I have some customers whose A/P teams use automated invoice processing software that'll read an attached PDF to an invoice email. They have requested that a PDF copy of the invoice be attached to the email that PayPal sends them otherwise the PayPal email gets rejected by their automated system.

I know that you can attach files to the invoice. However, this is not that. I need a PDF copy of the invoice attached to the sent email.

Is there an option to do this?

Why not send it to the printer via PHP and have the default printer set to PDF ?

Unfortunately, that won't solve my problem.

I don't need the PDF myself. My customer needs it. The problem is getting that PDF to the customer in a way their automated Accounts Payable systems can process it.

If I generate a PDF, the best I can do is attach that to the PayPal invoice. So it's a PDF attached to itself. The recipient still needs to click the link in the email to view the invoice and download that PDF. The automated A/P systems won't do that.

So I need the PDF attached to the actual email that PayPal sends. There's no way to do that using PayPal APIs.
