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

The following Java web service example converts HTML content located at http://www.adobe.com to a PDF document named AdobeHTML.pdf. (See Converting HTML Documents to PDF Documents.)

    * the proxy Java files.
