I’m not sure about PDFMonkey, but I tried the service and from my perspective the idea is for example, to create a new PDF Document from a template you have written using HTML in the PDFMonkey App for example.

So, I made a template called Test and this template allows me to make an API request to generate the document passing just the parameters:

{
  "client_name": "Super Client",
  "company_name": "AwesomeCorp",
  "copies": "3 (three)"
}

And none Metadata for my test.

Because you are passing the PDF Data you receive in base64 to PDFMonkey generates what? The same file?

So, about your specific question about

convert pdf data that was received as base64

You may want to try one or both things below:

  1. function toBinary() {{toBinary(32.pdf; "base64")}}

  2. app Archive - module Inflate for decompressing the data
