Quick Start (Java SWAref): Assembling a PDF document using the web service API

The following Java code example merges two PDF source documents named map.pdf and directions.pdf into a single PDF document. The name of the single PDF document is AssemblerResultPDF.pdf. The name of the DDX document is shell.xml. (See Programmatically Assembling 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 
    *  
    *This quick start validates the following DDX document: 
    *<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
    * <DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/"> 
    *    <PDF result="out.pdf"> 
    *        <PDF source="map.pdf" /> 
    *        <PDF source="directions.pdf" /> 
    *    </PDF> 
    * </DDX>
