Save base64 string to pdf file

[Lefteris Chatzimichail]

I have a base64 string which is returned by a web service.
I would like to decode this base64 string and save it to a pdf file with javascript.

Is this possible?

You will need to be within a softone module (i.e ITEM)

if you control the web service, you can save the file to the webserver and then download it from softone module:

function Download(file) {

    strFileURL = 'http://your.url/' + file;

    var softOneDir = X.DIR('HTML');

    strHDLocation = softOneDir + file;

    var objXMLHTTP = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP');

    objXMLHTTP.open('GET', strFileURL, false);

    objXMLHTTP.send();

    if (objXMLHTTP.Status == 200) {

        var objADOStream = new ActiveXObject('ADODB.Stream');

        objADOStream.Open;

        objADOStream.Type = 1;

        objADOStream.Write(objXMLHTTP.ResponseBody);

        objADOStream.Position = 0;

        objADOStream.SaveToFile(strHDLocation, 2);

        objADOStream.Close;

        objADOStream = null;

    }

    objXMLHTTP = null;

}

if you dont control the webservice, you can get localy the base64 string  with

    var objXMLHTTP = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.XMLHTTP');

    var strFileURL = "http://your.url/here";

    objXMLHTTP.open('GET', strFileURL, false);

    objXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

    objXMLHTTP.send();

    if (objXMLHTTP.Status == 200) {

        var myscript = objXMLHTTP.ResponseText;

    }

But I don't think it is possible to save the recoded pdf using X.TOFILE , the result will probably not be a pdf file or you will get an error.

What it is possible is to save it in a blob field is sql server using a store procedure that takes the base64 string and recodes it.

Nick, you were rgiht. Saving the base64 string to a file with  X.TOFILE it creates an invalid file.
I abandon the idea implementing this functionality with javascript.
I implemented with a in-process .NET dll with this functionality only and add it to the click event of a button (ExecCommand(int Cmd)).
Thank you for your time.
