Document manipulation APIs lets you combine, rearrange, and augment PDF and XDP documents and obtain information about PDF documents. Each job submitted to the Document manipulation APIs includes a Document Description XML (DDX) document, source documents, and external resources (strings and graphics). The DDX document provides instructions on how to use the source documents to produce a set of resultant documents. It enables you to create applications that let you:

• Converts PDF documents to PDF/A standard.
• Transforms PDFs and PDF forms (created in Acrobat) to PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2b, and PDFA/A-3b.
• Validates the compliance of a PDF/A file and converts it if necessary.
