PDF Automation server comes packaged with a REST server that allows you to create, edit, and serve PDF documents through REST calls. The REST server is automatically started as a part of the PAS service. In order to use the REST server you will need to develop your own application that makes the REST HTML calls to the server to process documents.
The rest module runs as a part of the PAS service. Once the PAS service is running (see Getting Started) open a browser and navigate to the address below to view the REST module including APIs and HTML Viewer / Notes samples.
Note: Make sure that the fire wall settings on the server are not blocking the "QoppaPAS" process or the port being used by PAS (default 8090). See REST Settings to determine your Rest server IP and Port.
REST is based on the HTTP protocol and is a simple way to provide services over the web. Since it is widely supported, REST integrates easily with existing workflows and processes. It can be called from any language (.NET, Java, PHP, Ruby, Rails, Python, jQuery) and any platform (sales force, Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine) that supports REST.
