XML to IDoc in XI?

Question

Hi,
I am new to XI and I really need help in this.. I couldn't find any relevant source, so I thought I should post it up.
I am currently dealing with a PO processing project, whereby the image-based PO will be converted to searchable PDF, and I use Conversion Agent Tool to convert it to XML format. How do I map the XML result to IDoc for the SAP server? I read from somewhere that an inbound file adapter, IDX1 and IDX2 is involved but is there something which I can get more information or guide in regard to how to do it?
I am still an IT student and XI is very new to me.
Thanks in advance!
