Hi All,

i am trying to process a XML and PDF file using Java mapping, it is successful in XML but unable to do for PDF.

below is the code i am using... can any one guide me how to process PDF's..

byte byte1 = 0;

java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream bos = (ByteArrayOutputStream)outputstream;

while((byte1=(byte)inputstream.read())!=-1){

bos.write(byte1);

bos.close();

Thank You,

Hi Madhav,

I think instead of going with JAVA mapping you can write a custom adapter module for it.

Hi All,

it is successfull, i am able to process both PDF and XML files using below code....

byte[] data = new byte[512];

while(inputstream.read(data)>=0) {

outputstream.write(data);

}

outputstream.close();

Thank You,

Madhav

What does this mean? Do you get an error, a wrong result, an empty result?

"unable to do" is not very helpful.
