aas-copy-templates

Introduction

This Java-based command-line tool provides a simple method to copy templates from one Adobe Acrobat Sign account to another.

Set-Up Instructions

• Download the latest release of the aas-copy-templates-<version>.jar from the Releases page
• Download Java 1.8, if you don't already have it installed on your machine
• IP Addresses to add to your allow list, if needed

As the tool makes use of the Adobe Sign REST API, it is necessary to provide an integration key for both your source and target accounts.

To do this, follow the steps below (for each account):

1. Log in to your Acrobat Sign account (as an Administrator)
2. Click Group or Account, whichever you see at the top
3. Type "Access tokens" in the search field on the left side of the screen
4. Press the "+" icon on the right side
5. Create a key with the scope needed (only library_read is required for your source account, and only library_write is required for your target account)
6. Double-click the key you just created and copy the FULL text (it goes off-screen to the right so make sure you get it all)
7. Store the Integration Key for later use

Usage

• Open a command prompt in the directory where you have the JAR file downloaded
• Execute the following command, replacing:
  • <version> with the appropriate value for the release, such as 1.0.0
  • <sourceIntegrationKey> with your saved value from above
  • <targetIntegrationKey> with your saved value from above
  • <outputDirectory> with the directory which temporary files should be placed
  • <numberOfTemplates> (optional, defaults to 1) with the number of templates to be processed

java -jar aas-copy-templates-<version>.jar <sourceIntegrationKey> <targetIntegrationKey> <outputDirectory> <numberOfTemplates>

Assuming you have specified the required parameters correctly, then you should see output similar to that below:

To assist with diagnosing any issues, the documents in the source templates are written to the local filesystem (with a separate directory for each template).

Notes

The tool iterates through all the active templates shared with the sourceIntegrationKey creator. If you have a large number of templates present this will take some time.
