Hi,

I have a requirement to display/provide download link to the http blob response in visualforce page.
I am able to create a new attachment/document from blob value and provide a download link to that in vf page using {!URLFOR($Action.Attachment.Download,ReportName)}".
But i dont want to create a new attachemnt, just pass it from apex to vf page.
Any ideas ?

Thanks
Sid

I have a requirement to display the blob content on the VF page, Blob content is received from external web service as Base 64 string and I can convert it in to Blob. Tried the following methods to display the content.

1. converted Base64 in Blob and tried to display but it's displaying something "core.filemanager.FileBlobValue@bd9997c " on the page
2. Directly tried to display Base64 string then obviously it's displaying raw string (very large)
etc.

I want to display that content in original format, it can be of any type (pdf, xls, doc,rtf etc).

I should not use attachement or Document to store the file and download providing link to them.

following is the page used for PDF

<apex:page controller="TestDownloadFileController" sidebar="false" contentType="application/pdf" cache="false" >
{!Content}
</apex:page>

Content will have the blob value of Pdf file.

Please help.
