Hi Vince,
I think that what's happening here is that the SOAP toolkit is performing
the base64 encoding for you, so if you base64 encode the value as well,
you're double-encoding and that leads to the error.
For example, in the Java client library, the type of the Image.data field
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/AdGroupAdService.Image#data
is
simply byte[]
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/modules/adwords_axis/src/main/java/com/google/api/ads/adwords/axis/v201502/cm/Image.java#L57,
so when creating an *Image* object I can simply set that field to the raw
byte array. However, when the underlying SOAP toolkit (e.g., Apache Axis)
builds the message, it base64 encodes those bytes.
Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Following the image documentation
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/AdGroupAdService.Image
It's stated that the raw data image should be base 64 byte array, but I
kept getting an invalid image error.
I then decided to try the regular byte array, non base 64 format, and it
accepted and I can see my image ad in my campaign now. Is that a typo in
the documentation or am I reading it wrong?
