I have the contents of a PDF that I'm trying to save to an attachment. When the attachments body take the PDF content it gives me an error:

 

{
 "error": {
 "code": "0x80040278",
 "message": "Invalid character in field 'body': '\u0014', hexadecimal value 0x14, is an invalid character.",
 "innererror": {

I have tried to remove the last char from the output as I suspect it is the EOF char, but it only works sometimes. It causes the file to not be downloadable. To remove the last char I did:

 

substring(outputs('Render_Report')?['body/Output'],0,add(length (outputs('Render_Report')?['body/Output']),-1))

 

Is there a way to have the body accept all content?

    Managed to fix this.

    Use the output in the body as a function string(var?[output]). This way, it does not complain about the invalid chars, and the documents seem fine aswell.
