Quick Start (SOAP mode): Removing usage rights from a PDF document using the Java API

The following Java code example removes usage rights from a rights-enabled PDF document named LoanUsageRights.pdf. (See Removing Usage Rights from PDF Documents.)

 /*
     * This Java Quick Start uses the SOAP mode and contains the following JAR files
     * in the class path:
     * 1. adobe-reader-extensions-client.jar
     * 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar
     * 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar
     * 4. activation.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 5. axis.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 6. commons-codec-1.3.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 7. commons-collections-3.2.jar  (required for SOAP mode)
     * 8. commons-discovery.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 9. commons-logging.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 10. dom3-xml-apis-2.5.0.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 11. jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 12. jaxrpc.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 13. log4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)

     * 18. xbean.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 19. xercesImpl.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     *
     * The JBoss files must be kept in the jboss\client folder. You can copy the client folder to
     * your local development environment and then include the 3 JBoss JAR files in your class path
     *
     * These JAR files are in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/common
     *
     *
     * <install directory>/jboss/bin/client
     *
     * If you want to invoke a remote Forms Server instance and there is a
     * firewall between the client application and the server, then it is
     * recommended that you use the SOAP mode. When using the SOAP mode,
     * you have to include additional JAR files in the following
     * path
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/thirdparty
