Possible Duplicate: Decode Base64 data in Java I have a method that takes in a `String`, which is a Base64 encoding of a PDF document. How can I decode the binary back into a PDF file and then save the PDF file (or just pass back the file as a `File` object so the next program can use it). I need to do this using Java.
