I'm fetching a pdf using API call which return it in byte array format.

I need to convert it to base64, so that the same can be shared over email as an attachment.

The API call returns something like this: "%PDF-1.5 ... %EOF"

A direct base64 conversion results in an empty pdf file.

The code used:

var returnedValues = await requestPDF(url, "get", headersvalue, "");
base64data = Buffer.from(returnedValues,'binary').toString('base64')
var toReturn =  {"status": true,"data": base64data};
return toReturn;

When I pass the returned value to my third party mail service as an attachment, the resultant mail contains a pdf but a blank one.

This question appears to be about JS. Why is there people flagging as duplicate of Java related questions ? – Seblor Mar 28 '19 at 09:03
You should post more code, you might have an error before or after the conversion. – Seblor Mar 28 '19 at 09:10
@TaaviKivimaa the difference between Java and JavaScript is bigger that the difference between Car and Carpet. – Ferrybig Mar 28 '19 at 16:50
