Working with PDF Utilities

About the PDF Utilities Service

The PDF Utilities service can convert between PDF and XDP file formats, set and retrieve PDF document properties, and manipulate XMP metadata. For example, before converting a PDF document to another format, it is useful to inspect its properties to determine which service operation to invoke for the conversion.

You can accomplish these tasks using the PDF Utilities service:

• Convert PDF documents to XDP documents. (See Converting PDF Documents into XDP Documents.)

• Convert XDP documents to PDF documents. (See Converting XDP Documents into PDF Documents.)

• Retrieve PDF document properties. (See Retrieving PDF Document Properties.)

• Save a PDF document and optimize it for fast web viewing. (See Setting PDF Document Save Modes.)
