  1. Issues Converting Base64 to PDF – Text Encoding Problem


    Hello Community, I am working on a project where I need to convert Base64 strings to readable PDF files. The process works fine for most of the files, but sometimes it causes problems with text encoding. Some characters appear garbled or replaced by symbols in the resulting PDF. Here is a short description of the problem: System Information: Windows 10 Python 3.10 using base64 and PyPDF2 libraries Steps I Follow: Decode the Base64 string into binary data. Save the binary data to a .pdf file. Open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat or compatible reader. Problem: Text formatting has gone out

    How to distinguish if an Exchange ActiveSync POST URI query is plain-text or base64 encoded

    In the specification MS ASHTTP it is said that a query in URI can be a plain text or base64 encoded.
    I don't actually understand how to distinguish whether the query is base64 encoded or a plain text. It seems that I have to check if there is the MS-ASProtocolVersion HTTP header or not.

    • When I see MS-ASProtocolVersion then the query is plaint text.
    • When I don't see MS-ASProtocolVersion then the query must be base64 encoded.
    However I am not sure about it. I am looking forward for any advice.

    I need a creative way, to convert a image, to a computer code?

    I gather that the OP wants to send ChatGPT an image for it to interpret. But as ChatGPT only works for Online links to images (?) , he/she needs to find an alternative method to do so. One method suggested by Rick was to base64 encode the image using an ahk script, another would be through eg. a powershell script or through an online converter (like JPG to Base64 | Image | Base64 Encode | Base64 Converter | Base64 ) and send it like as text like so: Can ChatGPT do image recognition? | by Alexa Steinbruck | Medium pn: I don't have access to ChatGPT so can't test any further.

    Issues Converting Base64 to PDF – Text Encoding Problem

    Problem with pocketpc activesync. Base64 is used for the request instead of plain text.

    Hello,

    Until now we have been using a reverse proxy to access our exchange server. On this reverse proxy some detail of the connection were checked like the user name, device id and type using the plain text request line.

    Unfortunately the recent PPCs only send the information base64 encoded. Is there a way to configure the PPC to send the request in plain text?

    Best regards,

    Manuel
