Does anyone have suggestions on how to attach a .pdf file to a Robot Framework log.html file such that a user can read view the log file, click on a link and download the .pdf file to their browser? I’ve seen a few examples of how to create hyperlinks but the hyperlinks never produce the file. The page attempts to load and then I get a browser message indicating the file is not present or may have been moved. Is it possible to attach a .PDF file to the log.html file?

Hi @TTnRobo,

\*_ **Disclaimer: I’ve never tried this myself** _ \*

Start with using the [Automatic variable](http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#automatic-variables) ${OUTPUT DIR}, as the location to download the pdf file, then it should be in the same location as log.html

Next the [Log](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/BuiltIn.html#Log) keyword allows you use html tags, so I guess you could would try either an \<a\> or \<img\> tag

Hopefully that’ll work,

Dave.
