Save URLs to PDFs?
Hi,
I have PDFs which I can access through URLs. I want to download and save it
to files. How can I go about it?
Thanks
-Yogesh

Posted by Yogesh <yo...@gmail.com>.
Following is the code and the URL.
URL url = new URL ("
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2947364/pdf/msb201055.pdf?tool=pmcentrez
");
con = url.openConnection();
InputStream in = con.getInputStream();
FileWriter out = new FileWriter("C:/My.pdf");
int next = 0;
while ( ( next = in.read() ) != -1 ) {
out.write(next);
}
Thanks,
- Yogesh

Hrm, That's odd.
Can you post the code you tried? An perhaps the url?

Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They
think, "By doing this, the machine will run faster. By doing this, the
machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something
something something." They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to
focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the
application of the machines. We are the masters. They are the slaves. --

Re: Save URLs to PDFs?
Posted by Ad...@swmc.com.
Yogesh,
Compare the file size and hash (SHA1, MD5, etc.) of the file you download
from your browser with the file that Java downloads. The end of the file
may be missing when you download it via Java. I know you said the file
size is correct, but is it the *exact* same number of bytes? If so, then
the content must be different, and it should just be a matter of running
`diff` on the files to see what's going wrong.

Thanks,
Adam

Re: Save URLs to PDFs?

From the JDK docs:
FileWriter is meant for writing streams of characters. For writing streams of raw bytes, consider using a FileOutputStream.
You get characters replaced depending on your platforms character encoding. You must ensure you're writing bytes and not characters!

I ran the code [2]. The pdf is corrupted by the code as MD5s are different.
File sizes are identical [1];

Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They
think, "By doing this, the machine will run faster. By doing this, the
machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something
something something." They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to
focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the
application of the machines. We are the masters. They are the slaves. --

If you download the file through a browser? Does it work then?

I tried with that, it writes a blank PDF. Though, the file size and the
number of pages is correct (for the new written file)

You don't need pdfBox to do this. Below is some rough code that allows you
to download a file and save it.
URLConnection urlConnection = new URL("http://...");
InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
FileWriter out = new FileWriter("my.pdf");
int next = 0;
while ( ( next = in.read() ) != -1 ) out.write(next);
//close everything
