Convert Base64 Stream to PDF
Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to convert jpg, jpeg and tiff files to pdf format. I have the Base64 encoded stream of the files in clipboard. How do i need to convert this into PDF file ?
I have tried using this code in a Java Step before calling Code-Pega-PDF.View Activity.
String s = tools.getParamValue("Markup").toString(); //markup is the base64 encoded string
byte[] byteArray = new com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.Base64Util().decodeToByteArray(s);
tools.putParamValue("PDFDocument",byteArray);
I am able to download the PDF file post these steps but I am unable to open the PDF file. Its saying that its damaged (file is not correctly decoded)
Please let me know way to convert Base64 Stream into PDF file.

Hi,
Create a section rule with following lines.
add your base64 string to some property that you will refer in section rule as mentioned above.
Use HTMLToPDF activity to convert this section rule into a pdf.

Hi sandeep
You have called an activity attach files from an existing activity. That activity contains more than 8 lines. Can you attach the image of ATTACH FILES activity? And when I try to run the activity it shows an error in tracer that instance not found. What is the fix for this?
