You
can use the PDF Utilities Java and web service APIs to programmatically convert
XDP documents into PDF documents.
Summary of steps
To convert an XDP document into a PDF document, perform
the following steps:
-
Include project files.
-
Create a PDFUtilityService client.
-
Invoke the XDP to PDF conversion 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 by using a
PDFUtilityServiceService
object.
Invoke the XDP to PDF conversion operation
After you create the
service client, you can invoke the XDP to PDF conversion operation.
Convert XDP documents into PDF documents using the Java API
Convert XDP documents into PDF documents 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 XDP to PDF conversion operation
To perform
the conversion, invoke the
PDFUtilityServiceClient
object’s
convertXDPtoPDF
method
and pass in a
com.adobe.idp.Document
object that
represents the XDP file. The method returns a
com.adobe.idp.Document
object
that represents the newly created PDF file.
Converting XDP documents into PDF documents using the web service API
Convert XDP documents into PDF documents by using the PDF
Utilities API (web service API):
-
Include project files
-
Create a PDFUtilityService client
Create a
PDFUtilityServiceService
object
by using your proxy class constructor.
-
Invoke the XDP to PDF conversion operation
To perform
the conversion, invoke the
PDFUtilityServiceService
object’s
convertXDPtoPDF
method
and pass in a
BLOB
object that represents the XDP
file. The method returns a
BLOB
object that represents
the newly created PDF file.
