I am receiving a pdf file in biztalk and I need to convert it to base64 string and send to the destination system.
What should be the ideal way to do this and I have created an orchestration as there would be some business logic as well based on the file name of the incoming pdf.

- In a map with a functoid
- In a send pipeline
- From an expression shape in an Orchestration or by calling a pipeline in an orchestration

By ideal i mean considering the performance since it would be pdf files.
Also what do you mean by (In a map with a functoid). How can this be done in the map?
Thank you.

2021-04-15T21:49:02.663+00:00 For performance, if I was just sending the raw PDF, I would do it in a custom pipeline component, that could do it with streaming, as to reduce memory impact of large files.
