Hi,
I have been trying one example with PDFBox to merge two pdfs using
PDFMergerUtility class.
/*---- code snippet ---*/
PDFMergerUtility mergePdf = new PDFMergerUtility();
mergePdf.addSource(file1);
mergePdf.addSource(file2);
mergePdf.setDestinationFileName(file3);
try {
mergePdf.mergeDocuments();
} catch (COSVisitorException e) {
throw new InsolveException(e);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new InsolveException(e);
}
/*---- code snippet --- */
When I use the above code in a standalone application it is merging two pdf
files properly.
But when I use the above function in a web application as a server side program
and deployed to Tomcat, the mergeDocuments() statement is causing the following
exception.
Exception print stack trace:
java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified
at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(Unknown Source)
at java.io.File.createTempFile(Unknown Source)

Note: all the files and folders are available in the file system according to
the given paths.
I am guessing there could be some problem with Windows file system which is not
allowing to create a file from PDFBox code.
Please let me know what could be the reason and how to solve it.
Thanks in advance,
Balakrishna.
