The following Quick Starts are available for the Acrobat Reader DC Extensions service.

Quick Start (SOAP mode):Applying usage rights using the Java API

Removing Usage Rights from PDF Documents

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Retrieving credential information 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 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):Applying usage rights using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-applying-usage-rights-using-the-java-api

The following Java code example applies usage rights to a PDF document named Loan.pdf. The rights-enabled PDF document is saved as a PDF file named LoanUsageRights.pdf. The following usage rights are applied to this PDF document: enabledComments, enabledFormFillIn, and enabledDigitalSignatures. (See Applying Usage Rights to PDF Documents.)
