PDF Utilities Service Java API Quick Start (SOAP) pdf-utilities-service-java-apiquick-start-soap

CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

The following Quick Starts are available for the PDF Utilities service.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting a PDF document to an XDP document using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting an XDP document to a PDF document using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Retrieving PDF document properties using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Setting the save style for a PDF document using the Java API

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Sanitizing PDF documents

AEM Forms operations can be performed using the AEM Forms strongly-typed API and the connection mode should be set to SOAP.

NOTE
Quick Starts located in Programming with AEM forms are based on the Forms Server operating system. However, if you are using another operating system, such as UNIX, replace Windows-specific paths with paths that are supported by the applicable operating system. Likewise, if you are using another J2EE application server, ensure that you specify valid connection properties. See Setting connection properties.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting a PDF document to an XDP document using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-converting-a-pdf-document-to-an-xdp-document-using-the-java-api

The following code example converts a PDF document to an XDP document. (See Converting PDF Documents into XDP Documents.
