Hi all,
I have a scenario where we are sending a Base64 encoded PDF (a bill) and the corresponding xml data from SAP backend on level 4.6C to PI 7.1. In PI we should attach the xml data to the PDF. I have already succeeded to do this using iText but we have a requirement to do this with ADS instead. In Netweaver Developer Studio I created an example project where I am reading a PDF as a byte array, also reading an XML file and try to attach the XML to the PDF using the ADS api. The project successfully built in NWDS but when I am running the project it failes.
I am using standard code to attach the xml stream to the pdf, the error message is thrown when the following line is executed:
IWDPDFDocument document = context.execute();
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.impl.PDFDocumentAccessibleContextWDImpl.execute(PDFDocumentAccessibleContextWDImpl.java:99)

at com.eon.xi.dijnet.base64.PdfWithAttachment.main(PdfWithAttachment.java:218)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.adobe.impl.AdobeFormHelper.<clinit>(AdobeFormHelper.java:115)
... 3 more
Is it the problem with the PDF that it is not an Interactive Form?
Or the problem is simply that I am trying to run the project on my local machine where ADS is not available?
Thanks for your help.
Pal

Hi Pal,
There is a requirement to generate an Adobe Form using SAP Interactive forms, and then, send this PDF to a non-SAP system using Base-64 encoding. The receiving system will decode this file and re-generate a PDF.
I have heard that this could be done in the PI layer, using the Conversion Agent.
Another approach which I can think of is convert PDF to binary and then use the cl_http_utility=>encode_base64 to convert binary to base64.
You have mentioned that you have had to send a base 64 encoded pdf. Could you pelase guide me through the process?
Thanks,
Preethi.

I am not sure what resources you could use. It is easy to do this in ABAP backend. Can you use it?
There is an example report/ a demo report, where you can see how easily you can work with attachments. Please check this program FP_PDF_TEST_16.

I already found a solution for Java:
