I have an XML document that has an encoded non-XML PDF contained with in it.
<component>
<nonXMLBody>
<text mediaType="application/pdf" representation="B64">JVBERi0xLjQKJeLjz9MKNyAwIG9iago8PC9UeXBlL1hPYmplY3QvQ29sb3JTcGFjZS9EZXZpY2VS.......
Is there a way I can extract that PDF and render it using XSLT?
No, you can extract it (
<xsl:result-document href="zzz"><xsl:value-of select="text"/>but you can’t decode it (unless your system has a non standard extension function to do that). So you’d have to decode as a separate step using a different tool.By default the XDM data model string type doesn’t allow control characters not allowed in XML data, so there isn’t a standard XPath type that can hold a binary blob produced by decoding the base64 encoded string. Extension functions can return objects of implementation-specific types, so they can do anything….
