How to put a PDF message on a mq series queue

Question

I am having an issue reading a pdf document that is stored in a blob on the database and putting the document on our queue. In the past we have always had to deal with Word documents, but using the same method with the pdf's causes out of memory errors .. I have seen solutions here when reading from a file but not when the data is coming from a database. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
for word docs I simply read the data out of the blob using a .getbytes() into a byte array and pass that to my method for putting the binary onto our queue, so the variable message is a byte []
String corrID = correlationID+"";
          byte[] theBits = new BigInteger(corrID, 16).toByteArray();
          outMessage.correlationId = theBits;
          outMessage.write(message);
          System.out.println("-->BFC--invoking put statement for message");
          queue.put(outMessage);
          qManager.commit();

Please disreagard this message, it turns out the wrong decompression method was being used on the pdf file.
