Hi Yida,

In this case i would recommend to use a Bytes Buffer (BytesIO()) instead of a NamedTempFile()

The difference is that Tempfile is saved on the HDD/SDD, where a BytesIO buffer is kept only in RAM memory. A BytesIO object can be seen as a file only existing in RAM memory.

from io import BytesIO

def arc_factsheet_to_viktor_file(arcadis_factsheet: Document) -> File:

    # Create empty Bytes buffer
    bytes_buffer = BytesIO()

    # save file in the Bytes buffer
    factsheet = arcadis_factsheet.save(bytes_buffer)

    # Create VIKTOR File object from Bytes buffer
    file = File.from_data(bytes_buffer.getvalue())

    return file

I hope this helps.
