I'm unable to get a complete picture here, But as poer my understanding, you want to consume a webservice thorugh XI and the service returns attachment in turn. Now when you say attachment. I'm just curious to know how you are gpoing to handle the attachment in 4.6c. what kindof attachment is that? One possibe way is to send the data through RFC and receive the response in a different format ( may be file). I could not think of any other options with the information that you have provided.
This a trciky situation. I don't know how you would store a PDF document anyways in R/3 4.6. There is a way in which you can map the data coming from PDF document to a structure and then push that to R/3. Remember you get only the data in the PDf and not the pdf as such. I think you have to revisit your design.
SAP does provide features of generating pdf reports dynamically but I have never seen a case where PDf documents are received into r/3.
AFAIK its not possible to store PDF directly into R/3,one way around can be to store the PDF's in a File system with the IDOC number along with it,so that if you need to pull up the PDF in future,you can simply compare the PDF with the correct IDOC number and pull that out
If u could revise ur design a bit, then instead of webservice sender, u could receive the pdf from the SOAP response and convert it into xml using Conversion Agent or an adapter module.
