    if fac.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(fac.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Now write the string to a file:
    success = fac.writeEntireTextFile(path: "c:/data/something_pdf_base64.txt", fileData: strBase64, charset: "us-ascii", includePreamble: false)
    if success != true {
