I have an application storing PDF's that are uploaded to it in a varbinary field, I would like to reverse this process with FME and extract that data and write the PDF out. So far I haven't been able to get that to work. Any suggestions?
Have you tried the AttributeFileWriter?
Be sure to set the target file encoding to "Binary (fme-binary)"
@david_r just for clarification it is an image stored in the binary field and want to write that image out to the pdf...in case that confused anyone.
So I can at least read the binary field and fme recognizes it now, but when I get to the PDF portion it comes out blank.

That's a great start, at least. Can you describe in more detail where the problem occurs? Does the binary field arrive intact to the AttributeFileWriter? How is the transformer configured? What's the size of the output file?
