Retrieve PDF File from HTTP Web Request

Workflow
Updated July 19, 2018

I am trying to set up a Workflow that uses the HTTP Web Request to retrieve a PDF file from SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).  I've set the HTTP Web Request activity up and it receives the PDF data when I test the request.  However, I don't see any activities in the toolbox that will allow me to convert the response into an actual PDF file and store it in the repository.  Is this functionality missing, or is there and activity I can use to accomplish this?

Take a look at How to convert PDF Byte Array into PDF document?

Basically, you will need an SDK Script activity.  In the script, you grab the data from the HTTP Web Request activity (it will be as a Base64 string) and then convert the Base64 string to a byte array before writing it to a PDF file.
