This code is in my "emailed" component so it sets itself as the body of a new email - then tries to attach a PDF generated with ERPDFWrapper. This is called from a DirectAction. I'm not returning either the PDF or the email component to the browser. Am I violating best practices by trying to use the PDF wrapper without returning it?
