    Hello @lakshmipravallika,

     

    On what Os your Adobe campaign is installed ? Windows or Linux ? On-Premise, hybrid or fully hosted ? 

    I may have a solution for you if you are on-premise or hybrid, and if your ACC instance is on Windows server.

    Hi @amine_abedour 

     

    The Adobe Campaign is installed in fully hosted environment and on Windows.

     

    Please let us know the solution used for Hybrid Environment so that we will try to use the same approach.

     

    Regards,

    Pravallika.

    Hello @lakshmipravallika,

     

    I receive the attachement in XML format like this :

    <ctx [...]>
	[...]
	<pj fileName="PdfFileName.pdf"> 
		[attached encoded in base64]
	</pj>
</ctx>

    The solution that worked for me is : 

    • I store the base64 in a temporary text file (1)
    • I use the system commande "certutil -decode" with the temporary text file as first parameter and the final PDF final as second parameter to decode the base64 to a pdf file (2) (don't mind the ''pushd'' and ''popd'' in the command, i use them because my working directory is in a NAS)
    • Then i store the path to my newly decoded attached in database so that i can point to it from my delivery 

     

     

     

     

    I hope i was clear, if not, please let me know.

    Br,

    Amine
