In VF Page : <a download="{!attachItem.attachName}" href="data:{!attachItem.attachContentType};base64,{!attachItem.attachBody}" > {!attachItem.attachName} </a>

Thanks in advance.

Where are you getting the contents for itrAttach.Body?  What happens when you click the link to your base64 attachment?

Hi pcon,

I am getting a string for the itrAttach.Body. When i click on the attachment nothing is happening. 

Also this is not only happening for xlsx file. It is happening for all the content type which has greater than 1.5 MB file size.

Kindly let me know your comments.
