I don't think it's possible right now without coding.
If you are not afraid of coding, what you could do is something like :
add you membership certificate after the content of the receipt (in templates) and add an arbitrary separator between your receipt and the certificate. In my case
<!--break-->
.use the hook_civicrm_alterMailParams with the following content (extract the part after
<!--break-->
and put it in a pdf as a attachment.) :$pos = strpos($params['html'], '<!--break-->'); if ($pos !== False) { $pdf_content = substr($params['html'], $pos + 12); $params['html'] = substr($params['html'], 0, $pos); if (empty($params['attachments'])) { $params['attachments'] = array(); } $params['attachments'][] = CRM_Utils_Mail::appendPDF(ts('Membership certificate') . '.pdf', $pdf_content); }
I may create a little extension for this.
