That string value is the PDF in base64. If you convert the base64 to a byte array you can just write that byte array to disk.

Convert.FromBase64String

var buffer = Convert.FromBase64String(xmlStringValue);
File.WriteAllBytes(yourFileName, buffer);

It looks like the pdf content is encoded in base64. You will have to decode it and save it to a file.

Edit: indeed, when I use base64 to encode a pdf file, the first few characters are JVBERi0x...

It seems encoded with Base64, But not sure. if it is, you can take that long string and convert with the function Convert.FromBase64. You will obtain a byte[] that you can save as the actual pdf.
