What do you mean with "binary format"?

What is your use case?

By "Binary format" I mean how to convert pdf into Binary.

We will get these documents and we need to send them for further processing and we cannot send them as it is we need to convert those pdf, jpg, png into binary

A file cannot be converted into binary as it already is binary. But this is a file system perspective.

When I look at integrations I think that Appian should already do that by default.

What exactly did you try?

What do you ultimately want to do with it once it's binary?  Store it in a BLOB column in a database?  Send it across a webservice?  Wouldn't you rather do base64 in that case?
