Distiller Service Java API Quick Start (SOAP) distiller-service-java-api-quickstart-soap

CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

Java API Quick Start(SOAP) is available for the Distiller® service:

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting a PostScript file to a PDF document using the Java API

AEM Forms operations can be performed using the AEM Forms strongly-typed API and the connection mode should be set to SOAP.

NOTE
Quick Starts located in Programming with AEM forms are based on the Forms Server being deployed on JBoss Application Server and the Microsoft Windows operating system. However, if you are using another operating system, such as UNIX, replace Windows-specific paths with paths that are supported by the applicable operating system. Likewise, if you are using another J2EE application server, ensure that you specify valid connection properties. See Setting connection properties.

Quick Start (SOAP mode): Converting a PostScript file to a PDF document using the Java API quick-start-soap-mode-converting-a-postscript-file-to-a-pdf-document-using-the-java-api

The following code example converts a PostScript file called *Loan.ps *to a PDF file called Loan.pdf. (See Converting PostScript to PDF documents.)

 /*
     * This Java Quick Start uses the SOAP mode and contains the following JAR files
     * in the class path:
     * 1. adobe-distiller-client.jar
     * 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar
     * 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar
     * 4. adobe-utilities.jar
     * 5. jboss-client.jar (use a different JAR file if the forms server is not deployed
     * on JBoss)
     * 6. activation.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 7. axis.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 8. commons-codec-1.3.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 9.  commons-collections-3.1.jar  (required for SOAP mode)
     * 10. commons-discovery.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 11. commons-logging.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 12. dom3-xml-apis-2.5.0.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 13. jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 14. jaxrpc.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 15. log4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 16. mail.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 17. saaj.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 18. wsdl4j.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 19. xalan.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 20. xbean.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     * 21. xercesImpl.jar (required for SOAP mode)
     *
     * These JAR files are located in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/common
     *
     * The adobe-utilities.jar file is located in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/jboss
     *
     * The jboss-client.jar file is located in the following path:
     * <install directory>/jboss/bin/client
     *
     * SOAP required JAR files are located in the following path:
     * <install directory>/sdk/client-libs/thirdparty
     *
     * If you want to invoke a remote forms server instance and there is a
     * firewall between the client application and the server, then it is
     * recommended that you use the SOAP mode. When using the SOAP mode,
     * you have to include these additional JAR files
     *
     * For information about the SOAP
     * mode, see "Setting connection properties" in Programming
     * with AEM Forms
