API to get the pdf attributes like no of pages,size etc

[Dileepblr]

Hi,

1.Which livecycle ES2 API (webservice) should I use for getting the pdf attributes like no of pages in a pdf document,size etc.The PDFUtility service gives other info such as author etc

2.Also, is there a way I can position an image in a pdf document using livecycle API's.This is to put  a barcode image in different locations in a document.Which API should I use.

3.How can I get the form field counts in a pdf document using livecycle?Also , is it possible to modify the values of the pdf form elements through livecyce API's?

I use Invoke DDX operation of the AssemblerService.

For my DDX I use the following.

<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">

  <PDF result="result.pdf">

    <PDF source="inDoc" />

  </PDF>

  <DocumentInformation source="result.pdf" result="doc_info.xml" />

</DDX>

The output of the Invoke DDX is an AssemblerResult variable.

You can then use a SetValue to pick out the juicy parts.  To get the number of pages, I do

/process_data/result/object/documents, which I assign to a map variable

/process_data/map[@id="doc_info.xml"], which I assign to an xml variable

/process_data/xml//DocInfo/NumPages, which I assign to a int variable

I don't know.  Never tried to do that.  I would look in the DDX language for answers.
