Hi Thomas,
Yes you may send a PDF file as it is a binary file as well.
For that you need to adapt the MIME in the SOAP message ( Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions) type.
e.g.
<mime:multipartRelated>
<mime:part>
<soap:body parts="body" use="literal"/>
</mime:part>
<mime:part>
<mime:content part="pdf" type="application/pdf"/>
</mime:part>
</mime:multipartRelated>
For more info about the MIME types pleaser refer [1] [2].
Hope this helps.
Jose
