Hello [Make.com](http://Make.com) Community! I’m facing a challenge with converting a PDF to a CSV file using OpenAI and [Make.com](http://Make.com). The conversion works fine when tested in the OpenAI playground, and I get the expected CSV. However, I’m unsure how to download the CSV file via [Make.com](http://Make.com). Here’s what the body output looks like: - Body `50 4b 03 04 14 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 3f 00 61 5d 49 3a 4f 01 00 00 8f 04 00 00 13 00 00 00 5b 43 6f 6e 74 65 6e 74 5f 54 79 70 65 73 5d 2e 78 6d 6c ad 94 cb 6e c2 30 10 45 f7 fd 8a c8 db 2a 31 74 51 55 15 81 45 1f cb 16 a9 f4 03 5c 7b 42 2c 1c db f2 0c 14 fe be 93 f0 50 5b 51 a0 82 4d ac 64 ee dc 73 ` _End of data sample, buffer was originally 5689 bytes long. SHA1: 246803383b860c6722d3c2b7d048132a69cfa6ba_ **Steps I Followed:** 1. Converted a PDF to CSV using OpenAI assistant. 2. Tested it successfully in OpenAI’s playground. 3. The output body contains hex-encoded data (example shown above). **Problem:** I don’t know how to download the CSV file from this output in [Make.com](http://Make.com). **Request:** Can anyone guide me on how to decode this hex data or another method to download the CSV file using [Make.com](http://Make.com)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/d/2/d22aef918df9fc1b1bbe95102e2fa7b60c361ffb.png) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/0/105fb951cf03569d5e9b4d5da2d4daf7df1d040a.png) Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Make community! You probably could just use the built-in function `toString` in the [Parse CSV](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/csv) module. e.g.: ```plaintext {{ toString(16.body) }} ``` For more information, see the function documentation in the [Help Center](https://www.make.com/en/help). Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too — ### General - [Help Center](https://www.make.com/en/help) | [Tutorials](https://www.make.com/en/help/tutorials.html) - [Make Academy](https://academy.make.com) – learn Make and get your certificate - [Discord Server](https://samliew.com/make-discord-invite) – join us in live chat for fans of Make! ### Help Center Basics - [Mapping](https://www.make.com/en/help/mapping/mapping) – What is mapping?

Hi Samliew, thanks for all the information. I eventually found a solution using the OneDrive module. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/6/2/62156fbe44935a30902486f28c74edbbdc938b95.png) ---
