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.
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.
