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;
