How to encode object (pdf) to base64 so that I can create a routine ?

[Anonymous]

Hi Team,

I am a beginner with Talend API and I need help with the following scenario.

We have a pdf file to be converted to base64 format so that I can upload it to a web.

If I use an online tool to convert a pdf to base64 format I can upload. But in my case I have multiple pdfs coming into the flow which has to be converted to base64 format.

So I am looking for a reusable routine for my flow. 
 The below attachment is an image to base64 format, I need an object (pdf) to base 64.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

Hi,

     You should be able to do it through custom code within a Talend routine.

     Could you please check below link to get sample Java code.

Here is an example using a tJavaRow to convert files before to upload then to salesforce. That's exacty what you are looking for.
