Uploading PDF Files using REST API

[DhamuP]

Hi All,
I am using Rest API from postman.
first saved the form and updating the image attachment. so that i have used the put method to update the form.
I have used base64 encoded for pdf file.

but this is what i get.
Where i have gone wrong.
When i am using test.txt file its uploaded successfully and viewed but pdf is not uploading.
Also my pdf or image file which i am convert to base 64 give huge data which is too large to pass in url.
Any one can help on this.

Hi @rmeyer,
Its working fine. Can we use the same using ajax function in html file.

[rmeyer]

In the upper right of the Postman window there’s a “Code” button where you can find examples for many languages and libraries, including ajax.

Possibly this will help:

[solved] cURL example of an attachment upload RPC call?

Ok. So I figured it out myself, after a timely hint from @revant_one . I started with a File Manager like this … [FilesHome] … an Attachments subsection like this … [FilesAttachments] … a Sales Invoice like this … [ACC-SINV-2020-00001] … and files directories looking like this … private ├── backups └── files ├── UOM.csv └── docType_Chart_of_Accounts_Importer.csv public └── files I execute this script … # sudo apt install jq; export PRTCL="http"; export HOST="your.host"; …

The case is slightly different from yours: attaching a file directly to a specific invoice.
