Convert PDF stream to byte[]

Hi, I'm getting this exception when calling ConcatenateEForms.

com.pega.pegarules.pub.PRRuntimeException: Object at index #2 was not an byte[].

Basically, index #2 contains a PDF file stream (converted from Word stream). See attached.

Perhaps, this is not a byte[] format? If so, how can I convert PDF stream into byte[] so that I can combine multiple PDFs together using ConcatenateEForms?

Thanks in advance,

Will

Hi Chow,

Thanks for posting on PSC,

Review these articles, it may give you idea to convert in to byte stream:-

- https://pdn.pega.com/community/pega-product-support/question/convert-document-byte-array

- https://collaborate.pega.com/question/pdf-stream-tiff-stream-conversion and https://collaborate.pega.com/question/get-case-attachment-byte-array (These two isn't much relevant but may give you the idea to customise and get your requirement fulfilled).

Hope it helps, kindly notify if it does Or Please share if you get a better solution for broader Pega Community.

Regards,

Asif
