Admin Factor Rendering a PDF in a Visualforce page after getting Blob webservice response
Hey there,
I am trying to render a PDF in a Visualforce page and I tried every possibility I found. This is my webservice (from the controller ShowInfoFactura) which gives a SOAP envelope response after calling it:
It does not show me the PDF, does anybody know how to do it properly?
Thank you.
I am trying to render a PDF in a Visualforce page and I tried every possibility I found. This is my webservice (from the controller ShowInfoFactura) which gives a SOAP envelope response after calling it:
webservice static Blob getPDFMethod() {
String theResult, theFinalResult;
Blob blobby;
try {
// Web Service Calls
// (...)
wsResponse = wsPort.getWSResponse(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')); // SOAP envelope
theResult = String.valueOf(wsResponse); // String
List <String> splitTheResult = new List<String>(theResult.split('result'));
String theResultString = splitTheResult.get(2);
String theResultStringRight = theResultString.right(theResultString.length() - 1);
theFinalResult = theResultStringRight.left(theResultStringRight.length() - 3);
blobby = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(theFinalResult);
}
catch (System.Exception ex) {
ApexPages.addMessages(ex);
return null;
}
return blobby;
}
These are the results (USER_DEBUG):
- theResult (SOAP envelope): 17:00:00:517 USER_DEBUG [5]|DEBUG|The custom response is: wsResponse:[apex_schema_type_info=(http://jws.client.factory/, false, false), field_order_type_info=(message, result, status), message=null, message_type_info=(message, http://jws.client.factory/, null, 0, 1, false), result=JVBERi0xLjQKJeLjz9MKNSAwIG9iago8AxDL2rgKdlVtWsyxMqy3f1atrQvgtneJKOADeQU/Ds5njLlfLohtg3ee73unERvYmoKMTkgMCBvYmoKPDwvY2EgMT4+Pi9QYWdlcyAxNSAwIFI+XS9JbmZvIDM4IDAgUi9TaXplIDM5Pj4Kc3RhcnR4cmVmCjIzNjI5OAolJUVPRgo=, result_type_info=(result, http://jws.client.factory/, null, 0, 1, false), status=1, status_type_info=(status, http://jws.client.factory/, null, 1, 1, false)]

Thank you.
can you use try the blob.toPDF before displaying pdf content on vf page .
For more reference follow below link:
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_methods_system_blob.htm
You mean something like this (replacing the code posted):
List <String> splitTheResult = new List<String>(theResult.split('result')); String theResultString = splitTheResult.get(2); String theResultStringRight = theResultString.right(theResultString.length() - 1); theResult = theResultStringRight.left(theResultStringRight.length() - 3); blobby = Blob.toPdf(theResult);It is not working at all. Can you be more specific?
