Sent a PDF file on API call

edited Feb 21, 2024 12:37PM in Ask A Guru 9 comments

Hi Team,

I am currently working on integrating NetSuite with another system, and I need to send a file through an API call(post method). In Postman, I am able to directly upload the file using the form-data method and the file is received and created in the other system without any issues. But, when I tried to achieve the same functionality within a Suitelet script, using file.getContents() to obtain the file content and sending it to the system,it created the PDF with an error indicating that "Invalid PDF structure".

Could someone help me with this? Is there a method to upload a file through a script, similar to the Postman tool? Or is it possible to achieve this with NetSuite scripting?

Howdy, Stranger!
