EJB api (PDFGAPI7.submitJob())converting pdf to ps usage

Question

I am using the PDFGAPI7.submitJob() method for PDF to PS conversion,following is the code ,as the 'jobConfiguration' parameter i have used 'PDFGAPI7.getPDFExportXML("PS", 0,null)' as mentioned by the api ,i am still not able to convert the 'pdf' to .ps, i get a 'The supplied post script has errors' even though i am passing a 'pdf' as the input and expecting a .ps as the output file.Is the api usage correct?
will appreciate ur comments
Hashtable propsJNDI = new Hashtable();
// Populate the Hashtable object with JNDI environment values
propsJNDI.put("java.naming.factory.initial","org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
propsJNDI.put("java.naming.provider.url","jnp://localhost:1099");
propsJNDI.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs","org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
InitialContext initialContextOb = new InitialContext(propsJNDI);
//Look up the default PDFGAPI7 home object using the default properties case,//and then create an EJBClient object for it.
Object homeObject = initialContextOb.lookup( PDFGAPI7Home.JNDI_NAME );
PDFGAPI7Home apiHome =( PDFGAPI7Home )PortableRemoteObject.narrow( homeObject,PDFGAPI7Home.class );
PDFGAPI7 apiBean=apiHome.create();
String pdfExportXML=apiBean.getPDFExportXML("PS", 0,null);//for pdf to other file conversions
AESAPIResults result= apiBean.submitJob("pdftoPsConversion",
new java.io.File("C:/Temp/test.pdf"),
"test.ps",
false,
pdfExportXML,
null,
9,
null,
null,
"en_US",
null);
This creates the directory C:\WINDOWS\Temp\pdfg-SYSTEM\20\fde3-fffbb5-dfab61-e655cd-10b4c4-fd76a1\destdir with 3 files
1)test.log,2)_error_( with the code '12011' as the content)
I was able to locate the code ('1009') in pdfg-all.ear >aes-common.jar>ErrorCodes.properties
"12011 = The supplied PostScript has errors.".This indicates the usage of api is wrong ,please do let me know the right usage .
3)_done_(has no content)

Hi Sujith
I'm encountering the same problem you have only trying to convert the PDF to JPEG.
1) was your issue resolved ? if so how?
2) the call I am making is as follows:
ht.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
ht.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://grfnzts1srv:21968");
try {
initialContextOb = new InitialContext(ht);
if(initialContextOb == null){
System.out.println("null initial context");
//System.out.println("lookout start");
Object homeObject = initialContextOb.lookup( PDFGAPI7Home.JNDI_NAME );
//System.out.println("lookout complete");
PDFGAPI7Home apiHome =
( PDFGAPI7Home ) PortableRemoteObject.narrow( homeObject,
PDFGAPI7Home.class );
try {
PDFGAPI7 apiBean = apiHome.create();
i_xml = apiBean.getPDFExportXML("JPEG", 777, null);
//i_xml = jxml;
//System.out.println("\n\n\n"+i_xml);
File i_pdfFile = new File(a_sourceDir,a_fileName);
System.out.println("file name"+i_pdfFile.getPath()+"/"+i_pdfFile.getName());
AESAPIResults i_result = apiBean.submitJob(
"Convert JPEG",
i_pdfFile,
i_pdfFile.getName(),
false,
i_xml,
null,
APIConstants.DEFAULT_JOB_PRIORITY,
null,
null,
"Conversion DAEMON",
null);
I'm getting either:
The source file you submitted is not supported by this version of PDF Generator. (if I send the full path)
or
The system encountered an unexpected error while processing this request. Please contact the system administrator. C:\Documents and Settings\idank\My Documents\Tasks - code\YPG\ACL\pdf\InternalProofMask.pdf (The system cannot find the path specified) - if i give just the file name
your help on the matter would be great
Thank you
