Hello all,

 

When creating a Data Downloader service, the workspace is required to have a writer (the output of the writer is offered to the user in a .zip-file). However, I need to retrieve pdf-files from a website using the HTTP-caller. The writer is in this case embedded in the HTTPCaller and cannot be selected as writer in FME Flow. 

I have considered saving the pdf-files as attribute (binary). However, I have not managed to convert the binary files back to pdf, or write the attribute as pdf. 

 

I need the functionality of the Data Downloader of being able to draw an area of interest, from which the associated pdf-files are downloaded.
 

How could I make a Data Downloader-service that retrieves pdf's from a website?

 

 

Hey !

If you’re using the HTTPCaller to download a file, you can use the filecopy writer to copy the file in the result archive that will be given as result of the job with data download service.
