After making an HTTP request to an API that promises to return one: "nrwexPDF"

I have the following return:

I am trying to generate a pdf file from the string above:

I know that this string is with scape, so the original string to generate the pdf is:

I also know that this code above is a structure of a pdf already ready.

Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to generate a ". pdf" file again with this code.

In case more information is missing, I apologize, because it is my first interaction as questioner here in the stack.

  • You can use the file... but are sure that this is the return of the API and it is not you who is reading the answer as text?

  • Leandro, thanks for the feedback. I edited the question, with the answer of the API. I didn’t understand what you meant by using the file...

  • Is this your? api or your company’s? return content like this in a JSON utf-8 is a bad idea. If the api is returning a file, this should be a Base64 blob. If you convert the content presented in the question into a file. pdf the result will be a document in

  • If the api is not yours or your company’s, I recommend you contact them and request support for endpoint consumption

A simple way to run the demand is to simply write the received content into a file .pdf (if your intention is to save that content)

//sendo contentString o retorno da sua api
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(contentString);
File.WriteAllText("c:\\temp\\data.pdf", json.Data.Value);

  • This way the generated file will be blank.
