Is it possible to save pdf document to byte array (aspose.pdf for java)

Question

I need to save a pdf document, generated by aspose.pdf for java library to memory (without using temporary file)

I was looking at the documentation and didn't find the save method with the appropriate signature. (I was looking for some kind of outputstream, or at least byte array).

Is it possible? If it is, how can I manage that?

Thanks

Aspose.Pdf for Java supports saving output to both file and stream. Please check following code snippet, It will help you to accomplish the task.

byte[] input = getBytesFromFile(new File("C:/data/HelloWorld.pdf"));
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDocument = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(new ByteArrayInputStream(input));
pdfDocument.save(output);
//If you want to read the result into a Document object again, in Java you need to get the
//data bytes and wrap into an input stream.
InputStream inputStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(output.toByteArray());
