    Hi Yadnyesh,

    Please try the below code:

    Step 1 is converting from your base64 string to a byte array:

    byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64BinaryStr);

    Step 2 is saving the byte array to disk:

    System.IO.FileStream stream = 
    new FileStream(@"C:\file.pdf", FileMode.CreateNew);
System.IO.BinaryWriter writer = 
    new BinaryWriter(stream);
writer.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
writer.Close();

    And attach the converted pdf to the mail as an attachment.

    Note:
    If step 2 is not suitable for you.

    Please use memory stream to convert word to pdf without saving in local machine.

    Thank you for your response. Step 2 is not suitable for me. Can you let me know how can I use memory stream to convert Word doc into PDF? Also, it will be the code in plugin.

    Try this below code :

    //Read the document file using SemoryStream.

    byte[] filecontent= convert.frombase64string("your doucment body");

    MemoryStream memorystream= new MemoryStream (filecontent);
    memorystream.position=0;

    //Optional - use it based on your requirement
    using var reader=StreamReader(memorystream,Encoding.ASCII))
    {
    string line;
    line = reader.ReadLine();
    }

    then you can convert that content into PDF.
