Query on processing a PDF file using Java mapping

Hi All,
i am trying to process a XML and PDF file using Java mapping, it is successful in XML but unable to do for PDF.
below is the code i am using... can any one guide me how to process PDF's..
byte byte1 = 0;
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream bos = (ByteArrayOutputStream)outputstream;
while((byte1=(byte)inputstream.read())!=-1){
bos.write(byte1);
bos.close();
Thank You,
Madhav

Hi Madhav,
I think instead of going with JAVA mapping you can write a custom adapter module for it.

How to print PDF files using java print API

Hi,
I was goign throw lot of discusion and reading lot of forums related to print pdf files using java api. but nothing seems to be working for me. Can any one tell me how to print pdf files using java api.
Thanks in advance

Mike,
Can't seem to get hold of the example described in your reply below. If you could let us have the URL to get then it would be great.
My GUI application creates a pdf document which I need to print. I want to achieve this using the standard Java class PrinterJob (no 3rd party APIs I'm afraid, commercial restraints etc ..). I had a stab at it using the following code. When executed I get the pretty printer dialog then when I click ok to print, nothing happens!
boolean showPrintDialog=true;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob ();
printJob.setJobName ("Contract.pdf");
try {
if (showPrintDialog) {
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
printJob.print();
else
printJob.print ();
} catch (Exception PrintException) {
PrintException.printStackTrace();
Thank you and a happy new year.
Cheers,
Chris

I am unable to read pdf files using Acrobat Reader on my MAC OS X. Any suggestions?

How do I read pdf files using my MAC OS X?

You can read pdf files with preview. Select a pdf document, right click on it, and choose Preview. You can also get info and select to choose Preview for all.
You can also install Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Lion. It will also install a plug-in to read pdf docs in the browser.

How to read SGML files using Java

I've got a text categorisation test collection called Reuters-21578 for my Information Retrieval project. It is distributed in 22 files. Each of the first 21 files (reut2-000.sgm through reut2-020.sgm) contains 1000 documents, while the last (reut2-021.sgm) contains 578 documents. The files are in SGML format. Each of the 22 files begins with a document type declaration line:
<!DOCTYPE lewis SYSTEM "lewis.dtd"> The DTD file lewis.dtd is included in the distribution. Following the document type declaration line are individual Reuters articles marked up with SGML tags.
My questions is how to write a java program to read those 21578 documents or transform them into 21578 seperated text files.

I guess I missed something. What is Renes link?. The
parser stuff isn't really what I'm looking for. I'm
a new at and just learning java and I just want to
know the easiest way to read a SGML file. Should I
use a buffered Reader with a Pushback Input Stream?Hang on.....you want to just read the file without intelligently extracting the SGML data contained within and so have no need of a parser?
Well, in that case, its just text.....so just use BufferedReader or whatever to read the text data. If I understand you correctly, all you really wanted to ask was "how do I read a text file?"

Read text file using Java(streamTokenizer)

Hi, all,
I am lost when trying to read data from a text file to a Java prgram. The text file looks like the following:
106,62,2322,8159,1
106,62,3658,8333,1
106,62,4215,8334,2
Each number is seperated by "," and each line representing one row of data. I was thinking about using streamTokenizer to read the data into a multi-dimentional array. Since I am new to Java and just read something about the streamTokenizer from book, I would like to get some help from someone who is more experienced with that.
Thanks for your help!
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
try this:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Answer {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
        List data = new ArrayList();
        try {
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("...your text file ..."));
            String line;
            // reading the file line by line
            while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
                // splitting the line into token
                StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line, ",");
                List row = new ArrayList();
                while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
                    row.add(new Integer(st.nextToken()));
                data.add(row); // adding the row of data
            in.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        // test result
        System.out.println(data);
}I don't like to use arrays, because when I start reading the file, I don't know yet, how many rows of data it is containing. Therefore a java.util.List is much more convenient (you don't have to initialize). Your result is now a java.util.List containing elements of java.util.List containig elements of Integer.
