Download/Extract attached files from PDF

mkumar407 — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 12:39:00 GMT

Hi Team,

I've encrypted pdfs with excel files as an attachment. Need advise on how can these files be saved using code-behind.
I'm able to save using spying but it is little time consuming considering huge list of pdf.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi @Manish Kumar,

Here's a Stackoverflow article that discusses using C# to pull embedded files out of a PDF. In the article they make use of the iTextSharp library.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49408808/c-sharp-list-embedded-files-inside-a-pdf-file-and-get-a-file-stream-to-one-of-th

I've looked over the various assets on the DX that provide different degrees of PDF support, but none of them appear to do what you need. So I think you're correct that you'll have to roll your own functionality in a code stage.

Cheers,

Hello Manish,

Have you implemented the logic above mentioned by Eric in Blue Prism?
I get an error while using the code.

If you have implemented it, could you please help me with the error?
I am not sure how to get the Output from Blue Prism Code stage.
