Assembling PDF documents using the web service API

To assemble PDF documents using the Assembler service client web service API, perform the following tasks:

1.	Include project files

•	Create a Microsoft .NET client assembly that consumes the Assembler WSDL. For information, see Creating a .NET client assembly.

•	Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly. For information, see Referencing the .NET client assembly.

2.	Create a PDF Assembler client

Create an AssemblerServiceService object by using your proxy class’ constructor.

3.	Invoke the DDX operation

Invoke the AssemblerServiceService object’s invoke method and pass the following required values:

•	A BLOB object that represents the DDX document to be used.

•	A mapItem[] object that contains the files to assemble. It’s keys should be the names of the PDF source files, and its values should be the BLOB objects corresponding to those files.

•	An AssemblerOptionSpec object that specifies the environment parameters, including default font and job log level.

4.	Extract the results

The invokeDDX method returns a AssemblerResult object that contains the results of the DDX job and any exceptions that may have occurred. To obtain the newly created PDF document, perform the following actions:

•	Access the AssemblerResult object’s documents field, which is a mapItem[] object containing the result PDF documents.

•	Iterate through the java.util.Map object until you find the key matching the name of the resultant PDF document. Then cast that array member’s value to a BLOB.

•	Extract the binary data representing the PDF document by accessing its BLOB object’s binaryData property. This returns an array of bytes that you can write out to a PDF file.
