Hi all,
Is it possible to return a PDF in a web service. I am making the assumption
that it would be the same as sending any other file, such as an image, so i
would return an array of bytes. Is this the case, or are there any other
methods that are appropriate?
Thanks,

Take a look at web services with attachement, WSE 2.0 provides a good
framework for this purpose. alternatively you can make you web services
to return url to the pdf file(thoug you might want to implement some
sort of security mecahnism for this), and make your web services
consumer retrieve it form the url.

Hi erymuzuan,
We are still using the 1.1 framework, and i have to send the physical file
as apposed to a link, are there any tutorials around that would help me find
out how to send an PDF via a web service?

Rob

I use a string and base64 encode/decode the file into this. The approach
is simply, interopt friendly and wraps naturally into an object
hierachy. The only problem with this as I see it, is that its not the
fastest way, the encoding uses 30% more bandwidth than the raw byte size
of the file. In my case, 20-30Kb PDF files fly through like a breeze though!

Modica82,
WSE 2.0 works with 1.1 framework.
WSE is WebServiceEnhancement. You can download it form microsoft.
