I have to save the pdf file. I am able to get the pdf in the file stream with the help of the following code:

public System.IO.MemoryStream GenerateStreamFromString(str s)
{
     System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
     System.IO.StreamWriter writer = new System.IO.StreamWriter(stream);
     writer.Write(s);
     writer.Flush();
     stream.Position = 0;
     return stream ;
}

When I am trying to save this pdf stream with the help of the following code

File::SendFileToUser(demo.GenerateStreamFromString(content), "TestCustomer.pdf");

I am getting following error.

Error text:

Sorry, something went wrong and the file wasn't downloaded.

Hi Deep, I moved your question from Show xml in Dynamics 365 for Operations Browser tab, because although it's also about file manipulation, it's a completely different problem.

Do other downloads work, such as if you try to download a file attached to a record in AX?

By the way, I wonder how you want to create a PDF file from text if PDF isn't a textual format.

Martin's right, you can't just transform a text string to pdf, it's not that simple. For starters you should have the pdf stored as a blob in your database, then you can put it into a stream and download it. Here's a simple example (from Martin coincidentally) for up- and downloading a file. dev.goshoom.net/.../file-upload-and-download-in-ax-7

There are tools/dll's for converting text to pdf, but that would require a third party dll. AX2012 has a built-in pdf writer/printer, I don't know if AX7 still has that. Maybe you could use that printer to create a pdf.
