Quick Start (SwaRef): Applying a policy to a PDF document using the web service API

The following Java web service code example applies a policy named Allow Copy to a PDF document named Loan.pdf. The policy set to which the policy is added is named Global Policy Set. The policy-protected document is saved as a PDF file named PolicyProtectedLoanDoc.pdf. (See Applying Policies to PDF Documents.)
