<?php

$success = $bd->LoadFile('qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf');
if ($success != 1) {
    print 'Failed to load file.' . "\n";

$b64Str = $bd->getEncoded('base64');
print $b64Str . "\n";

// Now write the base64 string back to the binary PDF file:
$bd2 = new COM("Chilkat.BinData");
$success = $bd2->AppendEncoded($b64Str,'base64');
$success = $bd2->WriteFile('qa_output/helloWorld.pdf');
