What is the ecoding format of assets stored in CRXDE.

Hi @akshaybhujbale,

For word doc there is something like plain rendition that represents content as a plain text (it even can be checked directly from crx) without any formatting etc. Not sure if this will fulfill your requirement but it's definitely worth to explore this option.

So in that case, you can try url like this: http://localhost:4502/api/assets/wordFile.docx/renditions/plain

I have checked above with curl and got plain text of my word document as a response. To be clear I was testing this on AEM 6.5.12.

However if you would like to keep formatting etc, then in my opinion you should send this as binary file, and properly transform/consume on the system that you will be hitting AEM from.
