Binary Data to PDF and Word Doc

Question

All,
We have requirement to open a PDF or DOC in a new window from a BAPI output structure. The field returned from the BAPI is a binary field. Following is the code that is implemented for this scenario.
for(int i=0;i<wdcontext.nodeOutput().nodePtx_Drao().size();i++)
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDwebResource.getWebResource(wdcontext.nodeOutput().nodePtx_Drao().getPtx_DraoElementAt(i).getOrblk(), WdWebResourcetype.PDF);
IWDWindow win = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_PLACE.ordinal()), "test");
win.open();
The problem we are facing here is when we try to open the PDF it throws an error saying "File does not begin with '%PDF-'". If we try to open a word document by changing the resource type some junk values are coming.
Has anyone come across this type of development issues?
Appreciate all your replies and new inputs in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan.

Hi,
I also tried with the same using the below code. Even I am getting the same error.
byte[] test=new byte[9];test[0]=2;
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(test,WDWebResourceType.PDF);
When i tried the same code with other file type its working file.
IWDCachedWebResource resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(test,WDWebResourceType.DOC);
From where are you getting this actual byte array? from R/3?. In internet if you search about this error we are getting the results like "The PDF file has a .mme extension rather than a .pdf extension".
Note: This is not the problem with Window or LinkToURL ui elments.
Posting this to give you an idea.
