Hey Ed,

Could you give some more insight on how this script should be written? We have limited knowledge in this process and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Thank you everyone for the help. Below is the completed Workflow we came up with for our needs based on the feedback here:

And below are the contents of the SDK Script:

namespace WorkflowActivity.Scripting.SDKScript
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Data.SqlClient;
    using System.Text;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Xml;
    using Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess;

    /// <summary>
    /// Provides one or more methods that can be run when the workflow scripting activity is performed.
    /// </summary>
    public class Script1 : RAScriptClass92
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// This method is run when the activity is performed.
        /// </summary>
        protected override void Execute()
        {
            string token = this.WorkflowApi.GetTokenValueFromNameAsString("EFormtoPDFRequestfromApplitrack_Content", 0);
            //var token2 = GetTokenValue("EFormtoPDFRequestfromApplitrack_Content File");


            // string token = this.WorkflowApi.GetTokenValueFromNameAsString("HTTPWebRequest_Content File", 1);
string base64PDF = null;
using(StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(token))
{
    using(XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader))
    {
        if(!reader.ReadToFollowing("GetFormAsPDF"))
        {
            this.WorkflowApi.TrackWarning("HTTP Response was not valid.");
            return;
        }

        base64PDF = reader.ReadElementContentAsString("GetFormAsPDF", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices");
    }
}

this.SetTokenValue("Base64PDF", base64PDF);
byte[] pdfBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64PDF);

DocumentInfo doc = this.BoundEntryInfo as DocumentInfo;
if (doc == null)
{
    this.WorkflowApi.TrackWarning("Entry was not a document.");
    return;
}

using (Stream edocStream = doc.WriteEdoc("application/pdf", pdfBytes.Length))
{
    edocStream.Write(pdfBytes, 0, pdfBytes.Length);
}

doc.Extension = ".pdf";
doc.Save();
        }
    }
}

I hope it helps someone.

Hey Ed pleaseeee,

I have for import a document (format: jpg, pdf) and i dont know step by step how Do this process.

Thanks a lot!

Good Morning,
In my case I have an external url in which the document will be received within the parameters (blob format files), could you explain to me a guide on how I could do to achieve the objective of registering this information in the laserfiche database please, in Laserfiche API Cloud?

You should make the script a C# script,  it looks like in the workflow you have it set to a visual basic script.That's assuming you copied ed's code which is C#. 

Edit - didn't see the reply that pointed this out, disregard.

Hii all ,

we are reading a PDF File in byte array format through HTTP Web Service in our Workflow.

Aspx .

We need to retrieve the PDF Contents now through our SDK Script. 

How can we do the same?? Thanks for your help.

            //var token2 = GetTokenValue("EFormtoPDFRequestfromApplitrack_Content File");


            // string token = this.WorkflowApi.GetTokenValueFromNameAsString("HTTPWebRequest_Content File", 1);
string base64PDF = null;
using(StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(token))
{
    using(XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(stringReader))
    {
        if(!reader.ReadToFollowing("GetFormAsPDF"))
        {
            this.WorkflowApi.TrackWarning("HTTP Response was not valid.");
            return;
        }

        base64PDF = reader.ReadElementContentAsString("GetFormAsPDF", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices");
    }
}

this.SetTokenValue("Base64PDF", base64PDF);
byte[] pdfBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64PDF);

DocumentInfo doc = this.BoundEntryInfo as DocumentInfo;
if (doc == null)
{
    this.WorkflowApi.TrackWarning("Entry was not a document.");
    return;
}

using (Stream edocStream = doc.WriteEdoc("application/pdf", pdfBytes.Length))
{
    edocStream.Write(pdfBytes, 0, pdfBytes.Length);
}

doc.Extension = ".pdf";
doc.Save();
        }
    }
}

To send data across the web, it needs to be converted to a string.  You will notice in the code sample provided by Ed that he is loading the received data into a string object and then generating a byte array using Convert.FromBase64String:

string base64PDF = null;
...
byte[] pdfBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64PDF);

So in your code to send the PDF, you must convert your byte array into a Base64String and then send the string to the requester.
