I have PDFs stored in a SQL database, some are compressed and some are not. I an export just fine but I cannot view the compressed ones. When I "check the file type" on the compressed files, I'm told it is a ZLIB file. I don't know how to uncompress these.

Hello, The zlib is standard compression on Windows based environment, so you need to decompress it using either ready-to-use application such as winzip or any other apps. Or you could write a small tools which will read your field in binary format and decompress it for getting the binary raw data then store to the PDF file as well. I could write a tools like that, but I need to know the connection string to your database and the table structure where your PDF stored. I will write the code ine ither vbs or .NET. Let me know which one you prefer Best Regards, Khamid

Hi, I've done this before, and can deliver a Windows desktop app that will connect to your SQL Server database, extract the files from the table column and copy them to a folder. Can deliver in 2 days or less. Good quality work done, and long term support offered. Fixed price: $150 Thanks for considering my bid. Bests, Steve
