    copied!<p>I'm handling POST requests that include a PDF and am trying to re-construct the file and save it to the server on my end. Here's the code I'm using for that, pdfString is from the request body:</p> <pre><code>string myPath = @"C:\mypath\mypdf.pdf"; byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(pdfString); MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray); using (var writeStream = File.OpenWrite(myPath)) { stream.CopyTo(writeStream); writeStream.Close(); } </code></pre> <p>This gives me a file that is the correct size and number of pages as compared to the original, but all of the pages are blank.</p> <p>In case this is useful, here is the beginning of the request body where some of the PDF's meta data looks to be stored:</p> <pre><code>Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file" %PDF-1.3 % %100230[584] 1 0 obj &lt;&lt; /Filter/Standard /R 2 /V 1 /O&lt;ad6a15e8126b8f8185e4db64f2a41b8bd94a79eed4f6fd1e6b17da57ea2d8ba9&gt; /U&lt;e1f8eabd02255525f1eb0c68575189d08e577035a6905adeb50d84e67779a066&gt; /P 4 &gt;&gt; endobj 2 0 obj &lt;&lt; /Producer(sZT\310]!\354w\244\214) /Author(zS[\315D\002\332\005\252\263\b$\375f]\334) /Title() /Subject(\007\004\017\233\0260\203g\205\260\016/\375`J\324x"8v) /Keywords() /CreationDate(t\014\017\233\007T\222\024\330\346Qr\2539\037\210) /ModDate(t\014\017\233\007T\222\024\330\346Qr\250=\033\214) /Creator(Gfy\355\026\005\332\005\236\257"7\371lK\230[o\bZ) &gt;&gt; endobj 3 0 obj &lt;&lt; /Type/XObject/Subtype/Image /Name/wpt1 /Width 640 /Height 480 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace/DeviceRGB /Length 23713 /Filter [/FlateDecode/DCTDecode] &gt;&gt; </code></pre> <p>Nothing after that is plain-text. Until the PDF is closed.</p> <p>Is there some other way to read the request into memory that I should be using or something?</p>
