I'll quickly explain that PDF is an international standard for representing documents in digital format. It is very complete, giving the ability to represent everything on a page, whether images, tables, text, or whatever. The documents are usually smaller than the native file, making them easier to transport, while still reliably delivering the actual page image. It also offers the ability to sign the document, which also encrypts it.

Do you want to convert a scanned PDF to xml because you want to display it in a browser? If so, we've found that jPDFNotes is a component that can easily be integrated into applications or applets, to display PDF documents in a browser.

Hi,

I don't think you can convert a Scanned Documents into a PDF document.

Hi,

I think the requirement u have is difficult to achieve as you want to access the Scanned copy of a PDF file.

If it is a ordinary PDF File then you can easily access.

Is it possible for you to give the functional Details of the interface so that someone here can provide you the

alternate solutions...

hi,

in our company we have a solution for that but it involves additional systems, no only PI, scanned documents (as PDF or TIFF) are sent to an OCR software (we use Teleform) and converted to Text files. The Text files will be then converted to XML (and finally to an IDOC) by a Java Mapping in SAP PI.

Hi,

if scanned or not the approach seems to be strange

if some system is able to generate a scanned doc then it has to be able to generate some other output right ?

so why use the pdf ? maybe it's better to tell that PI cannot ready that even if it's not the truth but to get real quality data

in a normal format ?

Hi

They are taking the PDF and manually scanning

Could you explain, what the leeters PDF stand for?

Usually a PDF is an electronic document in a specific format.

But you cannot scan an electronic document, so I think you mean something different.

When you want a solution for a question, you should explain the whole scenario, so what should be done with the document, how should the XML look like, where should to go to, what data are inside and so on.
