[Interest] PDF to QByteArray

[Jason H]

Yes, I know that there is more than outputting a blob to attach it to email.

My point was only that after the code I gave was executed, that the QByteArray should be the same size of the file.
If he was using the text flag to QFile::open() it could explain his issue. (EOF character in text mode)

Also as Till Oliver Knoll, points out, you can't trust the output of dDebug() with binary content. (0 value char ends the string)

Off course ;)

The point to be taken away was really just this: IF you assemble the mail body yourself, you can't simply write binary data into it (you need to encode it, with all the bells and whistles defined in RFC 2045).

Somehow the lines from an earlier post...

QByteArray ba_pdf = file.readAll();
>
qDebug() << ba_pdf;

... made me suspicioud that this is what is being attempted here.

Cheers,
