Hi Everyone, I'm confounded by a SOAP service that returns a binary (for a PDF file) - I'm not able to figure out how to save it as a proper PDF document that Acrobat understands.
I get a SOAP response like (the binary was abridged for readability): <ns1:getObjectFileResponse xmlns:ns1="http://DefaultNamespace"; xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ "><getObjectFileReturn xmlns:soapenc=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:type="soapenc:base64Binary">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</getObjectFileReturn></ns1:getObjectFileResponse> However, when I take the binary and save it to a file, I can't open it with Adobe PDF reader; it says the file is corrupted. I'm thinking that I need to call CONVERT FROM TEXT to somehow change the encoding, but I've tried several of the obvious ones (?ISO-8859-1?; "UTF-8", "UTF-16"; "UTF-32"; "US-ASCII") without any luck. DOM GET XML ELEMENT VALUE($aNodeRefsArr{1};$Value) //this contains the payload I want $DocName:="C:\\TEMP\\OUTPUT.PDF" TEXT TO DOCUMENT($DocName;$Value;"US-ASCII")`?ISO-8859-1?; "UTF-8", "UTF-16"; "UTF-32"; "US-ASCII" - none create a document that I can open with Acrobat Thoughts?
