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)
* 14. mail.jar (required for SOAP mode)
* 15. saaj.jar (required for SOAP mode)
* 16. wsdl4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
* 17. xalan.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
*
* For information about the SOAP
* mode and the additional JAR files that need to be included,
* see "Setting connection properties" in Programming
* with AEM Forms
*
* For complete details about the location of the AEM Forms JAR files,
* see "Including AEM Forms Java library files" in Programming
* with AEM Forms
