[resolved] Problem open PDF File

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have install the tFileOutputPDF component from  exchange.talend.com and it work great.
But when I try to open the pdf file at the end of my process, I have an error message like this one:

Starting job LaunchAPP at 10:22 09/09/2015.

In the tJava

try {
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(((String)globalMap.get("tFileOutputPDF_1_FILE_NAME"))));
} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}

advanced settings
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.io.File;

If I try with just the XLS file it works without problem.

It looks like the component does not fill the global variable correctly. Check in the source code if this var will be set or not.
To do so, select the  tFileOutputPDF component and switch to the Code tab below the job design.

HI,
I don't understand very well where I must click/Go!
I have click on tFileOutputPDF, Click on Tab Run and on the tab under on the right I have choose : Debug Run.
I join the TalendJob

Hi Burnside,
Next to the Designer tab there is a Code tab which enables you to visualize the code and highlights the possible language errors.

Hi,
Thank's I understand now

I have do this to open the PDf file:

try {
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(context.OutputFile));
} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}

And for the XLS

try {
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(((String)globalMap.get(tFileOutputDelimited_1_FILE_NAME"))));
} catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}

Idea from :  Link

Thank's
Burnside.
