Quick Start (SwaRef): Creating a PDF document using the web service API

The following Java web service code example creates a PDF document named Loan.pdf. This PDF document is based on a form design named Loan.xdp and an XML data file named Loan.xml. The Loan.pdf file is written to the C:\Adobe folder located on the J2EE application server hosting LiveCycle, not the client computer. (See Creating PDF Documents.)

    * the proxy Java files.
