No. Output channels does not support PDF output. In the above example you are trying to open a comma separated CSV file using adobe reader by just changing its file name extension to PDF. You would need to export it as csv, xml, text or html and then convert it to PDF using a 3rd party tool.

- The output channels functionality in IFS Applications (and the Enterprise Explorer client) has support for 4 different file formats (note that a file format is not the same as a file extension, even if a file format usually has a commonly used file extension).
- The 4 file formats supported are comma separated values, extensible markup language, plain text and hypertext markup language (often abbreviated as CSV, XML, TXT and HTML which also happens to be commonly used file extensions for files of these formats).
- There is however an additional setting that enables you to override the default file extension and chose whatever file extension you would like. The file format will remain whatever format/type you've selected of the 4 format listed earlier. This means that you can select to create a comma separated value (CSV) file with the extension .martin for instance. This is convenient because in Windows you typically associate file extensions with programs used to open file of a particular format.
- This possibility to override the default file extension for the file created enables you to separate these files from other files (of the same format/type) and for instance associate the .martin file type with some other program.
- The file extension you specify doesn't change the file format though. Renaming a .csv to .pdf doesn't make it a PDF. Quite a few programs out there can open files of multiple formats and also open file where it understands the format even if the file extension used for the file doesn't match the format.

If you’re willing to do some programming, you can produce a PDF from HTML using WeasyPrint.
