How to save binary data from a XML response using XMLSpy or SoapUI

Question

I'm using XMLSpy and SoapUI and making a web services (ws) call to Fedex to generate a label. The response back from Fedex is a PNG or PDF file embedded in a web services response. How can I save that the PNG/PDF element?

1) Download Notepad++ 2) Use the MIME Tool Plugin to convert

2a) Cut and paste the binary data from the web services call into a new file 2b) Plugin -> MIME Tool -> Base64 Decode 2c) Save the file as PNG or PDF (depending on what data you're expecting

3) Open PNG or PDF in browser
