Converting binary data into pdf and placing into application server

Question

Hi Friends,
I am able to get PO details in binary format and then using GUI_DOWNLOAD  with file type with 'bin' and file name with 'sample.pdf' extension , got  PO in pdf  format.
But i need to get with pdf extension in application server without using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Is there any functional modules for it?
With Warm Regards,
Madhu!!!
