SequenceInputStream not reading the second file

[Frederik Ericsson]

Hi Team,

I want to ask your help since you might have gone through this before. I tried the SequenceInputStream, unfortunately it's not reading the second file, the result file shows only the XYZ file only, it didnt really add the other one. Please help me out on finding what I might have missed in this?


Vector files = new Vector();
FileInputStream f1 = new FileInputStream("C:\\FileNet\\XYZ.pdf");
FileInputStream f2 = new FileInputStream("C:\\FileNet\\documents\\ABC.pdf");
files.add(f1);
files.add(f2);
Enumeration enu = files.elements();
FileOutputStream fostream = new FileOutputStream("Result.pdf");
//InputStreamEnumerator e = new InputStreamEnumerator(files);
InputStream input = new SequenceInputStream(enu);
fostream.write(IOUtils.toByteArray(input));
input.close();
fostream.close();

Please let me know if you need more information on this.

Thanks

I suspect it is concatenating the two files, but your PDF viewer doesn't know it should look for a second file after the end of the data for the first one. I'm not really familiar with PDF's internal format, but it may not support simple concatenation like that. To test this theory, take a look at the files sizes of the two input files and one output file. Is the output size equal to the sum of the input sizes?

No worries, I got the answers from the previous posts, this may not work for all document/image formats, works well with .txt, I need to use something different. file1 size is equal to output file size.

It doesn't.

Hi Fedrick

What did you do to fix that ? I also ran into same issue.Could you please paste me the post you have gone through.

Please show us what code you've tried, and tell us what kinds of files you want to concatenate and for what reason.
