PDF's using HTTP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I couldn't find this using the search, so here's the question:

Can I send pdf-files using HTTP receiver?

Hi,

Can you elaborate your scenario please is it,

PDF--> SAP XI -->Http (Receiver)

Or data comes by http then moves to sap xi and you generate a pdf.

Hi,

The scenario is FTP->XI->HTTP and the payload is always a PDF-document.

this information can help u in sending a pdf with an ftp sender.

To add additional file contents, you must make the following specifications:

¡ XI.AdditionalPayloads=file.addaDOC.namePart=”.txt”=”.doc”

The files x1.pdf and x1.doc were also searched for in the same directory as the file x1.txt. The contents of these three files are included in a message to the Integration Engine. Likewise, the files x2.pdf and x2.doc are searched for and processed like file x2.txt.

Hi,

Thanks for the answers! Bhavesh answer was helpful, I have to check those through.

We have fully working FTP->XI->FTP solution which sends PDF's nicely, but now we need to change receiver to HTTP-adater.

Hi Tapio,

If you want your file adeapter to read contents from a PDF file, check out the folloing blog,

/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/31/xi-read-data-from-pdf-file-in-sender-adapter

If you want your file adapter to generate its output into a PDF file, then check the following blog,

/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/27/xi-generate-pdf-file-out-of-file-adapter

Sriram's blog on FILE to HTTP scenario might of be help to you too. It also deals with Syn / Async Bridge which can be ignored.

These help links deal with HTTP adapter configuration,
