Hi Kami,

You can take help from the below code and put the modified code in the click event of Email button

  1. Create PrintJobSetting object and set the properties as below

printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::Mail);
printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);
printJobSettings.fileName(fileName);

  1. Run your report through code like i run the sales invoice report.

salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::Invoice, false);
salesFormLetter.updatePrinterSettingsFormLetter(printJobSettings.packPrintJobSettings());
args.record(_custInvoiceJour);
args.caller(salesFormLetter);
new MenuFunction(menuitemoutputstr(SalesInvoice), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);

After executing the run method system will open the outlook with the pdf report as an attachement.

I hope it will work for you.

Regards,

Zeeans
