Quick Start (SOAP mode): Redacting a PDF document using the Java API

The following code example redacts a PDF document using PDFUtility.

Note: PDFUtility can redact only those PDFs which are marked for redaction using Acrobat.
/* 
 * This Java Quick Start uses the SOAP mode and contains the following JAR files 
 * in the class path: 
 * 1. adobe-pdfutility-client.jar 
 * 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar 
 * 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar 
 * 4. adobe-utilities.jar 
 * 5. jbossall-client.jar (use a different JAR file if LiveCycle is not deployed 
 * on JBoss) 
 * 
 *  These JAR files are located in the following path: 
 * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES4/sdk/client-libs/common 
 * 
 * The adobe-utilities.jar file is located in the following path: 
 * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES4/sdk/client-libs/jboss 
 * 
 * The jbossall-client.jar file is located in the following path: 
 * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES4/jboss/client 
 * 
 * If you want to invoke a remote LiveCycle ES4 instance and there is a 
 * firewall between the client application and LiveCycle ES4, then it is 
 * recommended that you use the SOAP mode. When using the SOAP mode, 
 * you have to include additional JAR files located in the following 
 * path 
 * <install directory>/Adobe/Adobe LiveCycle ES4/sdk/client-libs/thirdparty 
 * 
 * For information about the SOAP 
 * mode and the additional JAR files that need to be included, 
 * see "Setting connection properties" in Programming 
 * with LiveCycle ES4 
 * 
 * For complete details about the location of the LiveCycle ES4 JAR files, 
 * see "Including LiveCycle ES4 library files" in Programming 
 * with LiveCycle ES4
