var myString = myDocument.metadataPreferences.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/","Thumbnails/*[1]/xmpGImg:image");

// replace - <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bbcb337>
myString = myString.replace("&#xA;", "\n");

will extract the base64 encoded data.

using the script <http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html> i thought i could decode the preview and then save to a file, but i get a invalid JPEG file.

However, feeding the script on the folowing url with the encoded string, forcing download, will produce a valid jpeg.
