    Hi this sounds like a good idea, may you advice if its possible to extract the contents of the pdf from the blob and use them as email body? Word Layout are giving me some limitations

    Hello Shweta,

    Could you speek more  why you convert pdf to binary.

    If your plan is storing pdf file in BLOB field (binary) then you can do easily.

    for that create InStream, OutStream, and after that use UPLOADINTOSTREAM.

    For more info visit UPLOADINTOSTREAM Function (File)

    You can also use BLOB.IMPORT....

    First try itself, Code something like:

    For Classic
         BLOB_Field.IMPORT(PDFFileName, FALSE);

    For RTC

    IF UPLOADINTOSTREAM('','','',PDFFileName,NVIStream) THEN BEGIN
        IF CALCFIELDS(BLOB_Field) THEN BEGIN
          BLOB_Field.CREATEOUTSTREAM(NVOStream);
          COPYSTREAM(NVOStream,NVIStream);
       END;
    END;
