Can you post the Base64 content (assuming it is not sensitive!)?

    Hi Deepak,

    Quick question, has the $content object has already been encoded to base64 (usually needs to encode since content is a binary)

    Try, Base64.decode(Base64.encode($content))

    Thanks

        Note: This is equivalent to $content. Also, our preview UI sometimes erroneously shows binary content as “Base64-encoded” when it’s actually not. It’s just an array of bytes. See Convert Base64 to HEX - #5 by ptaylor
