pdf files not opening after conversion #49

After converting the attachment with file type pdf, when I try to open it, showing file error message as file damaged.

Is this known issue for pdf file conversion?

Hi @damodarharishTest,

I haven't encountered that before.

The conversion process simply copies the same Blob of binary data from Attachment.Body to ContentVersion.VersionData and does not do any parsing or conversion of the raw bytes themselves. It's simply a pass through from one record to the other.

Can you confirm that when you download and open the original attachment PDF it does not give you this error?

@damodarharishTest and follow up to my previous reply, if you upload the original attachment PDF to Salesforce as a "File", when you try to open that file as a PDF do you get any error?
