Want to read the PDF file from the dam folder and convert the pdf data into byte array

[Dear_AT]

Hi ,

I am able to get the PDF file path as /content/dam/folder1/folder2/pdf.pdf, not I want to read the pdf data and convert it into the byteArray. 

I am not able to read the PDF file from DAM asset as we read it simple from local system. kindly revert.

Thank You

Hi, 

You could follow the next steps:

- Get the asset rendition

- From the rendition, you get the InputStream

- Then you convert your InputStream to ByteArray

Something like this:

Resource rr = resourceResolver.getResource(pathToYourAsset);
Asset asset = rr.adaptTo(Asset.class);
Rendition originalRendition = asset.getOriginal();
InputStream is = originalRendition.getStream();
byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
