First off, i apologize if this is not the correct place to ask this. But here goes...i have created a procedure to read a blob column and create a file on a linux server and that appears to be working correctly. Then from my pc, i use winscp to copy the file to my pc and finally i try to open it with adobe, but i get an error that it could not open the file "because it is either not a supported vile type or because the file has been damaged". Any ideas what i have done wrong?
