Create a PDF as attachment in custom module in mail receiver adapter

[former_member75138]

I'm trying to create a PDF attachment to an email using a custom module with the following codes. The attachment was created and sent, but when I tried to open it, I got the following error message: the file cannot be read either because a invalid encoding or the file is damaged.

Anybody knew if I did anything wrong in the way I'm opening and creating the PDF attachment below?

// add a new pdf attachment to the message

FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("c:/ftmailxi.pdf");

byte[] attachmentContent = new byte[fi.available()];

Payload attachmentPDF = msg.createPayload();

attachmentPDF.setName("ftmailxi.pdf");

attachmentPDF.setContentType("application/pdf");

attachmentPDF.setContent(attachmentContent);

//adding our this pdf as an attachment

msg.addAttachment(attachmentPDF);

//provide the XI message for returning

inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);

......

Anyway, I resolved the issue. Special PDF handling is needed. I used iTEXT library to read and write out the PDF stream.

Thanks, all the blogs are for ABAP function modules. What I'm writing is a custom java adapter module.
