Send PDF via Mail-Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I created a PDF via JAVA-Mapping.

The output looks like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><MT_PDF><root><![CDATA[%PDF-1.4%u00E2u00E3u00CFu00D32 0 obj<</Filter/FlateDecode/Length 982>>streamxu0153u00BDWMu008Fu00DB6 u00BDu00FBWu00CCq tYR u201Dtu00CC&u00DB4Eu00BBAvu00BD=u00E5"u00DBu00B4u00A5Vu00A2 Ju00EA u00FEu00B3u00B9u00E4gu00E4u0090u00A1,u00A5u00B68u00DCu00CA-  2$u00CEu00BCu00F7f8Cu2018u00FAu00B8u00B8Y.B	)u2014u00B0u00DC,8\u2039u00D8u00DEu00FCu00F8u201C u00C1au00B9]\u00DDu00E5u00EBu00E2Iu2022

When I just generate the PDF without the <tags> and test the mapping and download the result as *.pdf, the PDF is OK.

But I have to send the PDF via Mailadapter. So I have to wrap the generated PDF into <tags>. It seems, that the adapter has problems with the special characters.

Could you suggest workarounds?

Could MessageTransformBean help? How do I have to use it?

Thanks

Regards Mario

Hi,

solved it.

In the interface-Mapping you do not have to wrap the generated PDF.

Just send it to mail-receiver-adapter.

In the adapter you have to set special parameters.

You can generate pdf out of the required data by using appropriate Content_Type value. Check if the process mentioned in this blog helps you:

/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword

Refer this link for the relevant value of Content_Type value: http://www.iangraham.org/books/html4ed/appb/mimetype.html

For pdf the value will be: application/pdf OR application/x-pdf

Abhishek.

Hi Mayank,

i created with iTEXT. But that is not the problem. I gues it has somthing to do with the encoding.

I will try to set the mail-adapter to BASE64.

Hope that helps.

Hi all,

some more information:

In SXMB_MONI the payload is not displayed. I get an error "contains illegal charcters".

When I dont wrap the PDF into a message-interface, than in SXMB_MONI shows the PDF when doubleclicking on payload.

Hi Mario,

Have a look at the blog by michal

If you have the pdf in your payload you can make it as an attachment using PAyloadSwap bean. Just give a try

Which tags you are talking about? Is your pdf is the payload or an attachment? May be you can look at swapping of payload if you can send the PDF as an attachment.

HI VJ,

at the moment the PDF is in the payload. But I want to use it as attachment. So I thought:

1.) Convert the the souce-message into a simple-PDF wrapped by just one <tag>. e.g

<xml....><root>myPDFwithLotsOfSpecialCharacters</root>

2) Map the simple-PDF to a mail-structure, where <root> get the attachment.
