Quick Start (SwaRef): Assembling a non-interactive PDF document using the web service API

The following Java code example assembles a non-interactive PDF document. The interactive PDF document that is passed to the Assembler service is named Loan.pdf. Notice that the name of the DDX document is shell_XFA.xml. The non-interactive PDF document is saved as a PDF file named AssembleNonInteractivePDF.pdf. (See Assembling Non-Interactive PDF Documents.)

/** 
    * Ensure that you create Java proxy files that consume 
    * the Assembler services  WSDL. You can use JAX-WS to create 
    * the proxy Java files.   
    *    
    * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle using SwaRef" in Programming with LiveCycle. 
    *  
    * The following XML represents the DDX document used in this quick start: 
    * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
    * <DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/"> 
    * <PDF result="out.pdf"> 
    *   <PDF source="inDoc"/> 
    *   <NoXFA/> 
    * </PDF> 
    * </DDX>
