Quick Start (Java SWAref): Disassembling a PDF document using the web service API

The following Java code example disassembles a PDF document named AssemblerResultPDF.pdf. Notice that the name of the DDX document is shell_disassemble.xml. Each disassembled PDF document is named ResultPDF[Number].pdf. That is, the first disassembled PDF document is named ResultPDF1.pdf. For information about the shell_disassemble.xml DDX document used in this code example, see Programmatically Disassembling PDF Documents.
