Is there any way to upload a file (like - pdf file) through Sampler "Body Data" section in JMeter?
There is, via __FileToString() function
More information on JMeter Functions concept: Apache JMeter Functions - An Introduction
However I don't think it's the correct way to upload the file (unless you're building a multipart request body manually for some reason)
So I would rather recommend recording your file upload request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, given you will have the file in JMeter's "bin" folder during the recording it will generate proper HTTP Request sampler and HTTP Header Manager.

How to copy a pdf file content into a variable and then upload it as a multipart/related API request using JMeter??
In order to read the file inline or save it into a JMeter Variable people normally use __FileToString() function however it might not work for PDF files because they're binary so you might want to additionally convert it into Base64, the __base64Encode() can be found in Custom JMeter Functions bundle which in its turn can be installed using JMeter Plugins Manager
In general I would suggest recording your file upload request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just remember to copy the PDF file you will be uploading to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation otherwise JMeter will fail to capture the request properly.
Im trying to upload file and sending few parameters in the request but it looks it is not taking file path
-- payload
{"id":70,"student_id":24,"uploaded_by": "dbhadauria#concertai.com","document_name":"test","document_type":".png","files":
"CG.png"}
I m trying to give exact path also like C:/Files?CG.png but it is not working.
Normally you need to provide the file path and its MIME type under Files Upload tab of the HTTP Request sampler
If you're uncertain regarding how to properly build the file upload request you can just record it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just make sure to copy the file(s) you will be uploading to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation, this way JMeter will be able to properly capture the request and generate the HTTP Request sampler.

I need to do load test on a web application where images will be uploaded(Similar to the site https://imgbb.com/). I am unable to perform this. Can anyone help me out with this.
I have tried working it out but no luck. Please find the below screenshots for reference. Firstly after recording the script i have enhanced the script with correlation and have executed, then I have received the following error.
After doing some R&D, I have made certain changes(Implementation from default to HttpClient4, and Request parameters to Body Data) and executed again, still no luck.
Changes Made
Result
Can someone please suggest now
You're doing something very weird. The easiest way to create a file upload request using JMeter is just recording it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Start JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Import ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file into your browser (it is required as imgbb.com is using HTTPS protocol and JMeter will need MITM certificate in order to be able to decrypt and record secure traffic)
Copy the file you'll be uploading into "bin" folder of your JMeter installation (otherwise JMeter will not be able to find it)
Perform upload request in the browser - JMeter will capture it under Recording Controller
See Recording File Uploads with JMeter article for more details.
Just in case if you want or need to build the request manually the relevant HTTP Request sampler configuration should look like:
Parameters tab:
Files Upload tab
You should see the following output in the View Results Tree listener:
To upload files from JMeter Http sampler you have to add file path to http sample and corresponding mime type..
Open Files to upload tab in the HTTP sampler enter the file path ..
If the file is in JMeter's bin directory you can give relative path , if the file resides somewhere on the disk give absolute path and enter corresponding mime type
You can find mime type here.

I am not able to pass the required Json file as a body in JMeter while automating this api. In Postman we are uploading the json file as a value to a key. I am not able to figuring out how i can pass the same in JMeter.
Can anyone please help me on the same? Please find the attached screen shot for more details.
enter image description here
You can use "Files Upload" in HTTP Sampler and check "Use multipart/form-data for Post" and provide the path of json, parameter name (guessing "permissions") and MIME type. Check jmeter help for more info on this.
Hope this help.
In case of any issue, try to record it in jmeter and then check the recorded sampler for more information.
The easiest way is just recording it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorer
Configure Postman to use JMeter as the proxy. The configuration lives under File -> Settings -> Proxy
Prepare JMeter for recording, the fastest way is using JMeter Templates Feature. The configuration lives under File -> Templates -> Recording.
Copy your ExpensePermissionsTemplate.json file to JMeter's "bin" folder
Open HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and click Start button
Execute your request in Postman
JMeter should capture the request under Thread Group -> Recording Controller

I am searching for an option so that I can send audio file with http request sampler without pasting content from audio file(makes script heavy).
If you switch to "File Upload" tab of the HTTP Request sampler you will be able to provide path to the file for uploading along with its MIME type and associated parameter name.
This way your test plan will contain only path to the file, not its content so the size of .jmx script will not be increased.
The easiest approach to build the file upload request is just recording it using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, just make sure you copy the file(s) to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation so JMeter could capture the request and build the relevant HTTP Request sampler configuration.

__FileToString()
We can do so by using __FileToString(File_path,Encoding_type) method.
