PDF file with empty pages appearing after Copying using Java Files.copy

Question

I am trying to copy a file in my Class path to another temp location.

Here is the code for it:

    InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClass

Issue was totally unrelated. I was using maven copy resource to copy the resources under my src/main/resources/

this was my maven resource:

        
            src/main/resources
            true
            
                **/*.properties
                **/*.xml
                **/*.txt
                **/*.html
                **/*.pdf
            
        

Since the filtering was on PDF file was copied as an empty doco to the target folder.

I just seperated it into two resources with filtering off for PDF file.

        
            src/main/resources
            true
            
                **/*.properties
                **/*.xml
                **/*.txt
                **/*.html
            
        
        
            src/main/resources
            false
            
                **/*.pdf
            
        

Thanks to Drew Buckley, I got the issue when trying to do a binary comparison of the file. Actual file on the project was different and the one on the target folder which gets copied from the maven was different.

It works fine now.
