View a PDF in SOAPUI?
Hi all, I'm quite new to SOAPUI and I've created a test that calls a service to return a receipt. The receipt is returned as a PDF. As far as I can tell we can't display that PDF in SOAPUI? C...

Hi,
Where you say 'is this the entire response?' are you talking about the PDF response?
BTW - I think you have provided something similar to the script for option 1) from my earlier post, although I think your script is assuming that the response contains a Base64 encoded copy of the PDF, which it doesn't in @Premier2k s original post - it is instead binary, as the Content-Type is shown as application/pdf. Still nice enough script, have some kudos :-)
A Base64 encoded PDF might well be easier to deal with, I have done someting similar quite recently to get base64 from a webservice response and then stream it to a browser for display (not in SoapUI though). When dealing with application/pdf, I think it should be possible to stream the binary PDF data to a file in a similar way (perhaps using the iText library).. or somehow popup a browser (which has a pdf plugin) and redirect the PDF data there..
Cheers,

You can not view PDF directly from SoapUI but you can save response as pdf.
Use dump property of REST method to save Pdf,Word or zip files. Call below code before executing REST method :
testRunner.testCase.testSteps[thisTestcase].testRequest.dumpFile = <path to dump file.extension>
Hope this helps.
Looks like a good tip - thanks for sharing that, could be useful :-)
