Answer 1

Assuming content really is a base64 encoded PDF,

string path= "E:/J/test1.pdf";

byte[] binrydata = System.Convert.FromBase64String(content);
//Don't do this. Oops.
//binrydata = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(content)

System.IO.FileStream stream = new System.IO.FileStream(path, System.IO.FileMode.Create);
stream.Write(binrydata, 0, binrydata.Length);
stream.Close();
