I want to convert the ir.attachment file in the sales module into a PDF file using python. I have a custom report which needs to be added, no matter if Save as Attachment is set or not. Can you explain this briefly?

Hello Nivetha, 
Have you tried the old way?

import base64
pdf = self.env['report'].sudo().get_pdf([invoice.id], 'account.report_invoice')
self.env['ir.attachment'].create({
    'name': 'Cats',
    'type': 'binary',
    'datas': base64.encodestring(pdf),
'res_model': 'account.invoice',
'res_id': invoice.id,

    'mimetype': 'application/x-pdf'
})

If you need more explanation go with this tutorial
https://www.cybrosys.com/blog/creating-pdf-attachment-automatically-odoo-13

Or older one:

https://medium.com/hendrasj/how-to-create-attachment-pdf-report-automatically-on-odoo-10-odoo-11-79dd3ad19f23

You will find a way that should work for you also in Odoo 15.

Api to get pdf file preview:

@http.route(['/schedule_pdf'], type='http', auth="public", website=True, sitemap=False)
def schedule_pdf(self, **kw):         
​if kw.get('id'):      
​as_model = request.env['alwathba.schedule'].sudo().browse([int(kw.get('id'))])
​         content = base64.b64decode(str(as_model.pdf_file.decode("utf-8")))     
​pdfhttpheaders = [('Content-Type', 'application/pdf'),('Content-Length', u'%s' % len(content))]      
​return request.make_response(content, headers=pdfhttpheaders)
