CkPython

Convert any File to Base64 (and back)

Demonstrates how to get the contents of any file as a base64 string, and then write it back. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

bd = chilkat.CkBinData()

# This example will load a PDF and return it as a base64 string.
success = bd.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/helloWorld.pdf")
if (success != True):
    print("Failed to load file.")
    sys.exit()

b64Str = bd.getEncoded("base64")
print(b64Str)

# Now write the base64 string back to the binary PDF file:
bd2 = chilkat.CkBinData()
success = bd2.AppendEncoded(b64Str,"base64")
success = bd2.WriteFile("qa_output/helloWorld.pdf")
