Hi Jeet,

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

<a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/31/xi-read-data-from-pdf-file-in-sender-adapter">Sender File Adapter with PDF</a>

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

<a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/27/xi-generate-pdf-file-out-of-file-adapter">Receiver File Adapter With PDF</a>

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.

But i was Wondering how cud i take PDF as an attachment from File Adapter and pass it to WebService using XI so that , the WebService can Extract data from PDF and does some OPeration..!!

Any help wud be appreciated.

Many thanks Once again to all.

Hi Jeswani,

You can explore "Conversion Agent" . Thoe i do not have first hand experience using it, i beleive it is the best approach to process unstructured documents like pdf in XI.

To read a file as attachments , there is this additional files option , http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3c/b4a6490a08cd41a8c91759c3d2f401/content.htm .

SOAP receiver adapter has the Keep Attachments option , enabling it should help pass on the attachment to the server hosting the web service.
