What I wanted to do is I storing a PDF into attachments object through apex

Here is the apex code - 
Blob body = Blob.valueOf('Some Text');
Attachment attach = new Attachment();
attach.Body = body;
attach.Name = 'Sample.pdf'; 
attach.IsPrivate = false;
attach.ParentId = '00641000004n7fEAAQ';
insert attach;

Now when I navigate to the object on which I have linked this attachment, click on the file it doesn't get loaded. Following error is displayed

Hello Mustafa,

You are trying to save this attachment in PDF format then you have to convert your string in blob.toPDF format.

Try this Code:

Blob body = Blob.toPDF('Some Text');
Attachment attach = new Attachment();
attach.Body = body;
attach.Name = 'Sample.pdf';
attach.IsPrivate = false;
attach.ParentId = '00641000004n7fEAAQ';
insert attach;


I hope this helps you. Mark this Answer as best Answer, if it helpful.

Thanks,
