How to create byte array out of bytes

Question

I get a PDF image as Base64Encoded bytes in an XML file, something like this(much longer, stripped):

JVBERi0xLjMKMSAwIG9iago8PAovVHlwZSAvQ2F0YWxvZwovUGFnZXMgMyAwIFIKL091dGxpbmVzIDIgMCBSCi9EZXN0cyA1IDAgUgovUGFnZU1vZGUgL1VzZU5vbm

Want to write java code to convert it into image file . I tried using javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(byte[]) but not sure how to create byte[] of above bytes.

Answer 1

You can use the sun.misc.BASE64Decoder

public byte[] fromBase64(String b64) {
  BASE64Decoder decoder = new BASE64Decoder();
  return decoder.decodeBuffer(b64)
}
