# FilterStreamToStream

The FilterStreamToStream program filters an input stream to an output stream using Java API methods in Filter. It demonstrates the following functions:

- creates an input and an output stream. Filters the input stream to the output stream.
- extracts file format information (document type, format, version, and so on) if available in the source document.
- extracts metadata if available in the source document. This program extracts all the metadata from the document, but only displays the first element of metadata.
