I want to download a pdf file from Salesforce using Pipeline image below and save it to Azure Blob.
The saved file is not a PDF file, the content is the text of the response image below.
How to convert the response content to PDF content(binary?)?

Please tell me. Thanks!

    Hello @ri,shoshun ,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    REST API endpoints that the web activity invokes must return a response of type JSON.

    I would suggest you use the HTTP connector.

    HTTP connector is generic to retrieve data from any HTTP endpoint, e.g. to download file.

    As per my repro, I used copy activity to copy PDF file from HTTP request to Blob storage.
