Read PDF Using Adapter Module

[Former Member]

hi,

we are using XI 7.0 version. My requirement is as mentioned below.

PI system will receive multiple PDF files from source system and the requirement is to merge all the PDFs into one and send to the target system.

As I am not a Java developer, not sure how to implement this scenario.

Please suggest me the ways.

Thanks.

you can refer this as a starter. http://scn.sap.com/community/pi-and-soa-middleware/blog/2009/05/17/trouble-writing-out-a-pdf-in-xipi

the API i have used in that blog is relatively easy to use. Even though i have written the blog for creating a PDF file, once you start using the API you will be able to find the reading of PDF also quite easy.

You can do only using adapter module or java mapping. The below link has some sample java classes to provide idea.

Thanks for your reply Bhaskar.

The code snippet in the link you provided is half and I am not able to resolve the jar files that needs to be imported.

Please share the code/location for parsing the PDF Files, jars etc.

Thanks.
