You
can use the PDF Utilities Java and web service APIs to programmatically retrieve
PDF document properties, such as whether the document is a fillable form
or the minimum Acrobat version required to read the document.
Summary of steps
To retrieve PDF document properties, perform the following
steps:
-
Include project files.
-
Create a PDFUtilityService client.
-
Invoke the properties retrieval operation.
Include project files
Include necessary files into your development
project. If you are creating a client application using Java, include
the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services, ensure that
you include the proxy files.
Create a PDFUtilityService client
Before you can programmatically
perform a PDF Utilities operation, you must create a PDFUtilityService
client. With the Java API, this is accomplished by creating a
PDFUtilityServiceClient
object.
With the web service API, this is accomplished using a
PDFUtilityServiceService
object.
Invoke the properties retrieval operation
After you create the
service client, you can invoke the properties retrieval operation.
Retrieve PDF document properties using the Java API
Retrieve PDF document properties by using the PDF Utilities
API (Java):
-
Include project files
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-pdfutility-client.jar, in your Java project’s class
path.
-
Create a PDFUtilityService client
Create a
PDFUtilityServiceClient
object
by using its constructor and passing a
ServiceClientFactory
object
that contains connection properties.
-
Invoke the properties retrieval operation
To perform
the conversion, invoke the
PDFUtilityServiceClient
object’s
getPDFProperties
method
and pass in the following:
The method returns
a
PDFPropertiesResult
object that contains the results
of the query.
Retrieve PDF document properties using the web service API
Retrieve PDF document properties by using the PDF Utilities
web service API:
-
Include project files
-
Create a PDFUtilityService client
Create a
PDFUtilityServiceService
object
by using your proxy class constructor.
-
Invoke the properties retrieval operation
To perform
the conversion, invoke the
PDFUtilityServiceService
object’s
getPDFProperties
method
and pass in the following:
The method returns
a
PDFPropertiesResult
object that contains the results
of the query.
