In place of attaching the PDF in the email or converting to HTML, would a link to the PDF work?
that might be easier to automate.

Another option that came to me was converting the PDF to an image file, like JPG or TIFF.

I believe that Ghostscript and/or imagemagic can help with that. Bot can run on the i in the PASE environment.

Some further research indicates I would have to convert the pdf to html, and Adobe has such a tool.

Probably makes automating this difficult to impossible.
