  • What do you have in that binary code? Do you have the library that converts the binary back into a document? If its the case, you can write a simple plugin that uses the ContentServices in Appian to convert this binary to Appian document (assuming the code will involve the bit that knows how to convert the binary back into the document format). Double check if this is Binary or ASCII. Sometimes, if you open a document in notepad, you will get to see the ASCII format of that document. If this be the case, then you should technically be able to save the exact ASCII in a file within Appian and rename it to the appropriate extension of the incoming file.
