This section describes how you can use the Generate PDF
Java API and web service API to programmatically convert a PDF document
to an RTF file, which is an example of a non-image format. Other
non-image formats include HTML, text, DOC, and EPS. When converting
a PDF document to RTF, ensure that the PDF document does not contain
form elements, such as a submit button. Form elements are not converted.
Summary of stepsTo convert a PDF document to any of the supported types,
perform the following steps:
Include project files.
Create a Generate PDF client.
Retrieve the PDF document to convert.
Convert the PDF document.
Save the converted file.
Include project filesInclude 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 Generate PDF clientBefore
you can programmatically perform a Generate PDF operation, you must
create a Generate PDF service client. If you are using the Java API,
create a GeneratePdfServiceClient object. If you
are using the web service API, create a GeneratePDFServiceService object.
Retrieve the PDF document to convertRetrieve the PDF document
to convert to a non-image format.
Convert the PDF documentAfter you create the service client,
you can invoke the PDF export operation. This operation needs information
about the document to be converted, including the path to the target
document.
Save the converted fileSave the converted file. For example,
if you convert a PDF document to an RTF file, save the converted
document to an RTF file.
Convert a PDF document to a RTF file using the Java APIConvert a PDF document to an RTF file by using the Generate
PDF API (Java):
Include project files.
Include client JAR files,
such as adobe-generatepdf-client.jar, in your Java project’s class
path.
Create a Generate PDF client.
Create a GeneratePdfServiceClient object by
using its constructor and passing a ServiceClientFactory object
that contains connection properties.
Retrieve the PDF document to convert.
Create
a java.io.FileInputStream object that represents
the PDF document to convert by using its constructor. Pass a string value
that specifies the location of the PDF document.
Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object by
using its constructor and passing the java.io.FileInputStream object.
Convert the PDF document.
Invoke the GeneratePdfServiceClient object’s exportPDF2 method
and pass the following values:
A com.adobe.idp.Document object
that represents the PDF file to convert.
A java.lang.String object that contains
the name of the file to convert.
A java.lang.String object that contains
the name of the Adobe PDF settings.
A ConvertPDFFormatType object that specifies
the target file type for the conversion.
An optional com.adobe.idp.Document object
that contains settings to be applied while generating the PDF document.
The exportPDF2 method
returns an ExportPDFResult object that contains
the converted file.
Convert the PDF document.
To obtain the newly created
file, perform the following actions:
Convert a PDF document to a RTF file using the web service APIConvert a PDF document to an RTF file by using the Generate
PDF API (web service):
Include project files.
Create a Microsoft .NET
project that uses MTOM. Ensure that you use the following WSDL definition: http://localhost:8080/soap/services/GeneratePDFService?WSDL&lc_version=9.0.1.
注意: Replace localhost with the IP
address of the server hosting LiveCycle.
Create a Generate PDf client.
Create a GeneratePDFServiceClient object
by using its default constructor.
Create a GeneratePDFServiceClient.Endpoint.Address object
by using the System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress constructor.
Pass a string value that specifies the WSDL to the LiveCycle service (for example, http://localhost:8080/soap/services/GeneratePDFService?blob=mtom.)
You do not need to use the lc_version attribute.
However, specify ?blob=mtom.
Create a System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object
by getting the value of the GeneratePDFServiceClient.Endpoint.Binding field.
Cast the return value to BasicHttpBinding.
Set the System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object’s MessageEncoding field
to WSMessageEncoding.Mtom. This value ensures that
MTOM is used.
Enable basic HTTP authentication by performing the following tasks:
Assign the LiveCycle user name to the field GeneratePDFServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName.
Assign the corresponding password value to the field GeneratePDFServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password.
Assign the constant value HttpClientCredentialType.Basic to
the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Transport.ClientCredentialType.
Assign the constant value BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly to
the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Security.Mode.
Retrieve the PDF document to convert.
Create
a BLOB object by using its constructor. The BLOB object
is used to store a PDF document that is converted.
Create a System.IO.FileStream object by
invoking its constructor and passing a string value that represents the
file location of the PDF document and the mode in which to open
the file.
Create a byte array that stores the content of the System.IO.FileStream object.
You can determine the size of the byte array by getting the System.IO.FileStream object’s Length property.
Populate the byte array with stream data by invoking the System.IO.FileStream object’s Read method
and passing the byte array, the starting position, and the stream
length to read.
Populate the BLOB object by assigning to
its MTOM property the contents of the byte array.
Convert the PDF document.
Invoke the GeneratePDFServiceServiceWse object’s ExportPDF2 method
and pass the following values:
A BLOB object
that represents the PDF file to convert.
A string that contains the path name of the file to convert.
A java.lang.String object that specifies
the file location.
A string object that specifies the target file type for the
conversion. Specify RTF.
An optional BLOB object that contains settings
to be applied while generating the PDF document.
An output parameter of type BLOB that is populated
by the ExportPDF2 method. The ExportPDF2 method
populates this object with the converted document. (This parameter
value is required only for web service invocation).
Save the converted file.
Retrieve the converted
RTF document by assigning the BLOB object’s MTOM field
to a byte array. The byte array represents the converted RTF document.
Ensure you use the BLOB object that is used as
the output parameter for the ExportPDF2 method.
Create a System.IO.FileStream object by
invoking its constructor. Pass a string value that represents the location
of the RTF file.
Create a System.IO.BinaryWriter object by
invoking its constructor and passing the System.IO.FileStream object.
Write the contents of the byte array to a RTF file by invoking
the System.IO.BinaryWriter object’s Write method
and passing the byte array.
