Quick Start (SwaRef): Converting a PDF document to an RTF file using the web service API

The following Java web service example converts a PDF document named LoanSummary.pdf to an RTF document named LoanSummary.rtf. (See Converting PDF Documents to Non-image Formats.)

    * the Encryption services  WSDL. You can use JAX-WS to create 
    * the proxy Java files.
