pdf files in FILE Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I just wanted to know whether we can process pdf files through FILE adapter in XI.

If yes, Kindly let me know the procedure.

Thanks in advance,

Sudhasree.

PDFs can indeed be processed, but there is no standard feature;

1. Code a module - /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2009/05/17/trouble-writing-out-a-pdf-in-xipi

2. Use conversion agent - in this case its very easy to work with but it comes with a license cost. So you need to be sure if the customer is willing to pay for the same.
