FAQ
How do I send a PDF via a JSON API?
Base64-encode the PDF and include the string in a JSON field. The receiving API decodes it back to binary. Most APIs document the expected field name.
Can I view a Base64-encoded PDF in the browser?
Yes. Use a data URI: data:application/pdf;base64,[encoded-string]. Paste it in the browser address bar or an iframe src.
