The samples and documentation should get you quickly up and running with PDF Accessibility Auto-Tag capabilities in the PDFServices SDK including:

Improving the accessibility of PDFs

For code examples illustrating other PDF actions including those below, see the PDFServices SDK :

Creating a PDF from multiple formats, including HTML, Microsoft Office documents, and text files
Exporting a PDF to other formats or an image
Combining entire PDFs or specified page ranges
Using OCR to make a PDF file searchable with a custom locale
Compress PDFs with compression level and Linearize PDFs
Protect PDFs with password(s) and Remove password protection from PDFs
Common page operations, including inserting, replacing, deleting, reordering, and rotating
Splitting PDFs into multiple files

Custom timeout configuration

The APIs use inferred timeout properties and provide defaults. However, the SDK supports custom timeouts for the API calls. You can tailor the timeout settings for your environment and network speed. In addition to the details below, you can refer to working code samples:

Java timeout configuration

Available properties:

connectTimeout: Default: 2000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds for creating an initial HTTPS connection.
socketTimeout: Default: 10000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds between two successive HTTP response packets.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
    .withConnectTimeout(3000)
    .withSocketTimeout(20000)
    .build();
Copied to your clipboard
1ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.builder()
2    .withConnectTimeout(3000)
3    .withSocketTimeout(20000)
4    .build();

.NET timeout configuration

Available properties:

timeout: Default: 400000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds for establishing a connection, sending a request, and getting a response.
readWriteTimeout: Default: 10000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds to read or write data after connection is established.
processingTimeout: Default: 600000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds for processing the documents. Any operation taking more time than the specified processingTimeout will result in an operation timeout exception.
- Note : It is advisable to set the processingTimeout to higher values for processing large files.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.ConfigBuilder()
    .timeout(500000)
    .readWriteTimeout(15000)
    .Build();
Copied to your clipboard
1ClientConfig clientConfig = ClientConfig.ConfigBuilder()
2    .timeout(500000)
3    .readWriteTimeout(15000)
4    .Build();

Node.js timeout configuration

Available properties:

timeout: Default: 10000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds before the request times out. If the request takes longer than timeout, the request will be aborted.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

const clientConfig = new ClientConfig({
    timeout: 15000
})
Copied to your clipboard
1const clientConfig = new ClientConfig({
2    timeout: 15000
3})

Python timeout configuration

Available properties:

connectTimeout: Default: 4000. The number of milliseconds Requests will wait for the client to establish a connection to Server.
readTimeout: Default: 10000. The number of milliseconds the client will wait for the server to send a response.
processingTimeout: Default: 600000. The maximum allowed time in milliseconds for processing the documents. Any operation taking more time than the specified processingTimeout will result in an operation timeout exception.
- Note : It is advisable to set the processingTimeout to higher values for processing large files.

Override the timeout properties via a custom ClientConfig class:

client_config = ClientConfig.builder()
    .with_connect_timeout(10000)
    .with_read_timeout(40000)
    .with_processing_timeout(900000)
    .build()
Copied to your clipboard
1client_config = ClientConfig.builder()
2    .with_connect_timeout(10000)
3    .with_read_timeout(40000)
4    .with_processing_timeout(900000)
5    .build()
