You can use Base64 encoding to convert the file content to text, which you can easily use as the value of the element.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply, can you please elaborate it like how to use Base64.

By using below code i am getting .pdf file path.

public XmlNode xmlContentNode(XmlDocument _doc) { XmlNode header; XmlNode senderNode; XmlNode node; xmlNode attr; DocuRef addDocuRef; header = _doc.createElement2('Content', #Test); node = _doc.createElement2('Data', #Test); node.text(Class1::saveDocuTempFile(addDocuRef, true)); header.appendChild(node); return header;

Which is showing following:

In my machine I have access but receiver don't have access to.

Regards

Rahul

Using a local file path obviously can't work from other machines. What you need to use is really the actual file content.

The native X solution is using BinData class:

BinData binData = new BinData(); binData.loadFile(filePath); // Alternatively you could use a container with the data // binData.setData(data); str encoded = binData.base64Encode();

If you had a reason to do it differently, you could also use .NET classes and methods, such as System.Convert::ToBase64String().

On the receiver side, they will reverse the same process and convert it back to pdf.

container data = BinData::loadFromBase64(encoded);
