bobdole:

A few points:

1) If the blob contains a pdf file that's not encoded in any fashion, and you're doing a console app and just want a PDF file, then you'd just extract it and save it with a pdf extension.
2) If the blob contains a pdf file that's not encoded in any fashion, and you're doing a Web app and are returning a PDF file, set the mime type appropriately.
3) Not to be snide, but this is PerlMonks, and we generally want to talk about Perl-related topics. For database topics there are suitable forums. Please use them.
4) Your question is too vague to be able to expect any useful answers. You might want to examine How (Not) To Ask A Question.
