Obtaining Side-by-Side Comparison PDF
This requires two calls - the first to build the PDF and the second to obtain the PDF data from the server for storage client-side.
1. Building the PDF
URL: /segments/remote_generate_comparison_pdf2
Post Data: session_id, target_id
session_id
The unique key returned in the initial login call.
target_id
The value of target_lang_id obtained when the PDF was uploaded.
Returns
On success, a JSON structure containing progress information.
On failure the HTTP status code will be set to something other than 200.
The JSON structure will contain amongst other things, the following fields:
task_id
The unique id of the task which corresponds to a separate thread on the server. Use this id to obtain status information about the task via the remote_task_status call.
2. Getting the PDF Data
URL: /segments/download_comparison_pdf2
Post Data: session_id, target_id
session_id
The unique key returned in the initial login call.
target_id
The value of target_lang_id obtained when the PDF was uploaded.
Returns
The name of the PDF file just downloaded is encoded into the HTTP header. The rest of the content is the file data itself.
