Hi Harleen,

Along with pdf files, XI can also pick up and read excel files.

Hi,

It can be done by bypassing the payload from Integrationg engine.In this case this case XI will not process the PDF file but jus picks up the file from sender side and places it on the target side with no translations and message processing.No IR is required in this case.ID is enough.The file go thorough Adapter Engine it self.

Jus follow the link provided it works.

But if u want to read the contents of the PDF also then there is no other way than writing the Javabased Moudle and configure it .

Thanks,

Ram.

Is it that you only want to pick the file from source and dump it in target...or do you want to process the file also.

If only pick and dump:

No need of IR...only ID objects will do the trick

If pick-process-dump

You need to write a adapter module
