I have a rest response in which PDF is being returned. How to save it to my local disk as pdf?

Hi, 

 

I am getting a pdf in the response of a rest call. Which is displayed as encrypted in the raw response. I wanted to store that file to my local disk and email it . If I compare it with a soap service, I could see that in soap service, the pdfs are coming in the response as attachments in response and I can click on the attachment and save it to my local. I am looking for a way to do the same from a rest response as well. This may be  very basic question for the experst out here .

 

Thanks

Bimal

  • hi, Bimal

    May I know what's your response format? Is that JSON or XML. Under those two response editors you can see the attachments tab. Does that tab contains your PDF documents?

  • Hi

    I had similar situation. Thought would share it with other members. I  have a script whcih retuns pdf in binary form. So in test case properties I uses dump to give thes path and file name like C:/test.pdf 

    My get request has at the end '?format=pdf' so when I created brand new test case it added format parameter with pdf .

    I think if it is not there you can add parameter format with value pdf.  To save it as pdf 

    I had a little hard time as I cloned my old 'Get...' test case and tried to save it as pdf. It saved the response as pdf but the file was corrupted.
