generatePDFOutput

[Eric_Stricker]

I am trying to merge a PDF and XML to make an interactive PDF document. The next step will be to apply the RE key.

For the merge data I created a standalone JAVA class as a package. The jsp is able to call the package, but I retrieve an error on line 74  doc = outputService.generatePDFOutput(inputPDF, inputXML, option);

Error: (First few lines)

Thanks for the support. I manage to resolve the issue

You need to use stream and store in repository rather than attempting to create file in file system.

Thanks for the response. I got some time to go over this and have narrow down the issue to the following:

1. from a HTTP page I upload a PDF document.

2. From the "Submit" button I call a POST.jsp page. 

3. From the POST.jsp I like to call some custom java classes to be re-used. 

Problem: If I code the storage of the the PDF document  to the repository in the POST.jspI have no problems, but once I move the code to a bundle-java class I receive a java.lang.nulpointerException: null. Why is it that I cannot pass the aemfd.document.document from the POST.jsp to a class file to do all the work for me?

The error stack is the same are is printed above.
