I'm developing some requests to Docusign API, and I'm receiving the error message { "errorCode": "UNSPECIFIED_ERROR", "message": "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string." } when I'm trying to send an file in the Send an electronic signature request via email method.

The following JSON that I'm sending in the request body:

{
"documents": [
    {
        "documentBase64": "base64 encoded file...",
        "documentId": "1",
        "fileExtension": "pdf",
        "name": "FILENAME.pdf"
    }
],
"emailSubject": "Assinatura de documento requerida",

            "routingOrder": "1",
            "tabs": {
                "dateSignedTabs": [
                    {
                        "anchorString": "signer1date",
                        "anchorYOffset": "-6",
                        "fontSize": "Size12",
                        "name": "Date Signed",
                        "recipientId": "1",
                        "tabLabel": "date_signed"
                    }
                ],
                "fullNameTabs": [
                    {
                        "anchorString": "signer1name",
                        "anchorYOffset": "-6",
                        "fontSize": "Size12",

                        "recipientId": "1",
                        "tabLabel": "Full Name"
                    }
                ],
                "signHereTabs": [
                    {
                        "anchorString": "signer1sig",
                        "anchorUnits": "mms",
                        "anchorXOffset": "0",
                        "anchorYOffset": "0",
                        "name": "Please sign here",
                        "optional": "false",
                        "recipientId": "1",

                        "tabLabel": "signer1sig"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
},
"status": "sent"

}

Some additional information. I'm doing this requests by asp classic calls. It's already working fine to get login information and the token data. this is how I"m sending the requests.

HttpReq.send(dataSent)

'response.Write(HttpReq.ResponseText)

I've already calculated and the encoded value is a valid base64 content.

Can someone please help me on this?

Can you please post a link to your file. Looks like you are encoding the file incorrectly. – Praveen Reddy

I did a test using a simple PDF test file in my machine... this is the JS function that are encoding the file content: 

var handleFileSelect = function(evt) {
var files = evt.target.files;
var file = files[0];

if (files && file) {
    var reader = new FileReader();

    reader.onload = function(readerEvt) {
        var binaryString = readerEvt.target.result;
        document.getElementById("hidden_doc").value = btoa(binaryString);
    };

    reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
}
var fullPath = document.getElementById('document').value;
if (fullPath) {
    var startIndex = (fullPath.indexOf('\\') >= 0 ? fullPath.lastIndexOf('\\') : fullPath.lastIndexOf('/'));
    fileName = fullPath.substring(startIndex);
    if (fileName.indexOf('\\') === 0 || fileName.indexOf('/') === 0) {
        fileName = fileName.substring(1);
    }
}

};

Also, as you can see, I have a file input type to select the file:

<input type="file" id="document" accept=".pdf"/>

I've already solved the problem. My base64 function was wrong.

Now I'm using the following function and it's working fine:

function previewFile() {
var preview = document.getElementById("hidden_doc");
var file    = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];
var reader  = new FileReader();

reader.addEventListener("load", function () {
    preview.value = reader.result.split(',')[1];
}, false);

if (file) {
    reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}

var fullPath = document.getElementById('document').value;
if (fullPath) {
    var startIndex = (fullPath.indexOf('\\') >= 0 ? fullPath.lastIndexOf('\\') : fullPath.lastIndexOf('/'));
    fileName = fullPath.substring(startIndex);
    if (fileName.indexOf('\\') === 0 || fileName.indexOf('/') === 0) {
        fileName = fileName.substring(1);
    }
}   

}

Thanks all for your help.
