Thanks Henrique,

Ah, a processor makes sense. I use "S3" and I'm just getting Form-values for 
the filename and nsdata.

What I can see is an API with a java.io.File, and not the NSData "posterData" 
which I got from the form values?

                NSData posterData = 
(NSData)formValuesDictionary.valueForKeyPath("poster"); 
                ERAttachment attachment = 
ERAttachmentProcessor.processorForType("s3").process(editingContext(), 
posterData, (String)dic.valueForKeyPath("filename"));

Am I following you correctly in that I should use this S3 processor API ? I 
guess I'd have to write the NSData to a temp file?

Or is there an API I'm confusing which would handle the NSData I get from the 
form?
