Title: AFP2PDF conversion possibility using IBM CMOD REST APIs
Post by: mayank81089 on August 09, 2023, 11:39:21 AM

Hi Team,

We are integrating CMOD 10.5 REST APIs into a custom application to retrieve AFP documents from CMOD and we want to transform these APF documents into PDFs before sending it to the caller of the document.

Has anyone tried anything like this before with REST APIs if you can suggest the possible options that will be great.
 I understand that this is possible with ODWEK APIs with generic transform interface which allows us to leverage RICOH afp2pdf to transform it but I am not sure how to achieve the same with CMOD REST APIs

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mayank

REST uses the same Generic Transform Interface via ODWEK. You can specify the transformXML path to the xml file in the .tmpl or .conn file (see pages 11-12 of https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/content-manager-ondemand-rest-services ) to define the transform. Then you can call the named transform on the retrieve end point. See section 3.6.2 of the REST End Point reference. For example,

cmod-rest/v1/hits/<folder name>/docid?viewerName=<transform>

where <transform> = OD_AFP2PDF (or whatever you decide to name it in your xml file)
