Flatten PDF using OutputServiceClient

Question

Hi,
I am trying to flatten the PDF using the below code.
   OutputServiceClient outputClient = new OutputServiceClient();
                   outputClient.Endpoint.Address = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://172.20.148.143:8080/soap/services/OutputService?blob=mtom");
                   //Enable BASIC HTTP authentication
                   BasicHttpBinding b = (BasicHttpBinding)outputClient.Endpoint.Binding;
                   b.MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Mtom;
                   outputClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "administrator";
                   outputClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";
                   b.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Basic;
                   b.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly;
                   b.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2000000;
                   b.MaxBufferSize = 2000000;
                   b.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = 2000000;
                   //Create a BLOB object
                   ConsoleApplication1.ServiceReference1.BLOB inData = new ConsoleApplication1.ServiceReference1.BLOB();
                   //Reference an interactive PDF document
                   string inputFileName = "C:\\ab\\xfa_movies.pdf";
                   FileStream fs = new FileStream(inputFileName, FileMode.Open);
                   //Get the length of the file stream and create a byte array 
                   int len = (int)fs.Length;
                   byte[] byteArray = new byte[len];
                   //Populate the byte array with the contents of the file stream
                   fs.Read(byteArray, 0, len);
                   //Populate the BLOB object
                   inData.binaryData = byteArray;
                   //Set rendering run-time options 
                   RenderOptionsSpec renderOptions = new RenderOptionsSpec();
                   renderOptions.cacheEnabled = true;
                   //Create a non-interactive PDF document
                   ConsoleApplication1.ServiceReference1.BLOB results = outputClient.transformPDF(
                       inData,
                       TransformationFormat.PDF,
                       PDFARevisionNumber.Revision_1,
                       null,
                       PDFAConformance.A);
                   //Populate a byte array with a BLOB data
                   byte[] outByteArray = results.binaryData;
                   //Create a new file that represents the non-interactive PDF document
                   string FILE_NAME = "C:\\ab\\NonInteractiveLoan.pdf";
                   FileStream fs2 = new FileStream(FILE_NAME, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
                   //Create a BinaryWriter object
                   BinaryWriter w = new BinaryWriter(fs2);
                   w.Write(outByteArray);
                   w.Close();
                   fs2.Close();
But it is not working. I referred the help where it talks about the usage of  BLOB.MTOM but is dont see this property when i added the webReference.

Hi,
Well it did not work, we have updated the version from the ES 8.2.1 to 8.2.1.3 and still IS running incorrectly.
We used two different mechanisms to place XML data in PDF:
  - Forms
  - FormDataIntegration
None works, the imported data do not appear in the final flatten PDF.
Where it works properly is with LC ES2, we have to update, because we rush to deliver this development.
While we understand that should work with the ES version 8.2.x, all documentation is in your website says this, but the reality is that (at least to us) does not work, the static PDF preloaded (with DataIntegration or Forms) and then flattened with Assembler NOT show the latest data preloaded.
Thx.
