Hi Folks,

I am getting a pdf/word/excel file from the System and storing the binary information in a separate object. When I try to decode it in the attachment it is decoding in the right format but the file is not opening. It is giving Failed to open the pdf documnet error.

//In a separate method

fileBody=EncodingUtil.base64Encode(myfile.body);

DateTime todayDate=datetime.now();
ts=todayDate.format('yyyyMMddHHmmss');

Decimal ord=0.0;
List<Attachment_Creation__c> attList=new List<Attachment_Creation__c>();

while(fileBody!=null){
String str;
Attachment_Creation__c attcre=new Attachment_Creation__c();
if(fileBody.length()>32000){
str=fileBody.substring(0,32000);
filebody=fileBody.substring(32001);
attcre.File_Body__c=str;
attcre.Timestamp__c=ts;
attcre.Order__c=ord++;
attList.add(attcre);
}
else {
str=fileBody.substring(0);
attcre.File_Body__c=str;
attcre.Timestamp__c=ts;
attcre.Order__c=ord++;
attList.add(attcre);
fileBody=null;
}
}//while ends

if(attList.size()>0)
insert attList;

And, In the save method,

transient List<Attachment_Creation__c> att=[select Timestamp__c,File_Body__c,Order__c from Attachment_Creation__c where Timestamp__c=:ts order by Order__c asc];
String b='';
if(renderAttachmentSec && att.size()>0){
Attachment a = new Attachment(parentId = createAction.id, name=myfile.name);
for(Attachment_Creation__c sa:att){
b=b+sa.File_Body__c;
}
System.debug('£££ Body Save : '+b);

if(a.Name.contains('pdf')){
a.Name=a.Name+'.pdf';
a.ContentType='application/pdf';
// Blob bb=Blob.valueOf(b.trim());
// String s=EncodingUtil.base64Encode(bb);
a.Body=EncodingUtil.base64Decode(b.trim());
}

The reason I am doing in this way is, to avoid the View state issue. Please explain the right way to decode it and open the pdf.

Thanks
