DocConverter Service Java API Quick Start (SOAP)

Java API Quick Start(SOAP) is available for the DocConverter service.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Determining PDF/A compliancy using the Java API

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

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 being deployed on JBoss Application Server and the Microsoft Windows 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 document to a PDF/A document using the Java API

The following Java code example converts a PDF document named Loan.pdf to a PDF/A document that is saved as a PDF file named LoanArchive.pdf. (See Converting Documents to PDF/A Documents.)

     * 5. jboss-client.jar (use a different JAR file if the forms server is not deployed
     * on JBoss)

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Determining PDF/A compliancy using the Java API

The following Java code example determines whether the input PDF document is PDF/A-compliant. The input PDF document that is passed to the DocConverter service is named LoanArchive.pdf. Validation results are written to an XML file named ValidationResults.xml. (See Programmatically Determining PDF/A Compliancy.)
