Merge XDP Templates

Hi,
I have 4 different XDP templates and the pdfs are rendered for each template perfectly . So in all 4 different PDFS are generated during runtime. All the 4 templates have different Master Page . My question is can we merge the 4 templates so that only one PDF get generated?
I know there are API's which do merge PDFs but we want to check whether there is any funcitonality in Form Server 7.1 to achieve this.
Thanks,
Mohit

Stitching multiple XDP templates together is a very difficult thing to do and there are currently no
commercially available products that will do it. You're better off taking one of the following
approaches:
- If your forms are dynamic (i.e. the form grows or shrinks) then you're better off building a
single XDP template with 4 separate body page definitions
- If your forms are static, then you can merge the PDFs as a post process using LiveCycle
Assembler or some other commercially available software that will merge PDFs together.

Merge xdp and xml to xfa form variable

Hi, I am new with Adobe Livecycle and xdp/xfa form management.
In my process I have a xml containing string data, I have also a xdp file. My goal is to merge them and stock into a xfa form so that it can be showed to an user GUI.
I know that RenderPDFForm service can merge xml and xdp into a pdf file. Is there a way to merge them into a xfa form file?
Thank you.
Damien.

It looks like I am back to square one.
DDX is part of the Life Cycle tool set. As Far As I know, I am not working with Life Cycle here.

Description
Manipulates existing forms created in Adobe® Acrobat® and Adobe® LiveCycle® Designer
I created my sample form with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.4.4. Does that mean I have an Acrobat or a LiveCycle form?
ColdFusion supports two types of interactive forms: forms created in
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or earlier, and forms created in Adobe LiveCycle. In
Adobe Acrobat Professional and Standard 7.0, Adobe introduced Adobe®
LiveCycle® Designer for creating PDF forms.
And if I do have a LiveCycle form, what or how do I get a DDX version of it?

Merging libraries, templates, and Sun_cache

In our development environment we create a lot of small librarires, which we merge into one single static library at the end. Almost all of these individual libraries have template instances, and thus have those cryptic .o object files in them. We use "CC -xar" to create these individual static librarires. To create the final library currently we extract all the .o files (including the template instances) from each static library and simply merge them. However, I would like to find out if there is a proper/better way to do this.
Can anyone please point out the proper/better way to merge static libraries when templates are used?

Sorry, I use CC 5.3 which seems not to exhibit your problem. You might try using a sed(1) script in your Makefile to remove the extraneous quotes:
.o .cc:
CC -DINL=inline -c $<
cat SunWS_cache/CC_state | sed '/OP=/s/\'inline\'/inline/' > SunWS_cache/tmp_CC_state
mv SunWS_cache/tmp_CC_state SunWS_cache/CC_state
Alternatively, experiment with variations like: CC -D"INL=inline"

Want to merge a template, can you help?

Ah, I finally find the right place to ask this, I should have searched a bit longer. I use Dreamweaver CS3, can do some nice basic websites with it.
I have a Free People Search website when, if you have a look, is pretty plain, dull, boring, dead. I have however found a nice template I want to use to merge these two sites together. Is this possible? Could someone more knowledgable than myself give me a rough idea how to do this? Thanks!

Well, you can't 'merge' the two really.
You need to create a folder that holds all new design files and create a site definition pointing to that folder. If you've worked with DW before you know how to do that.
It's only a matter then of copying and pasting the information on your current site into the content area of the new design.

Can I customize XDP-templates?

When working with LC Designer you can save a common used lay-out (e.g. presenting corporate's identity) as a Designer Template (tds-file), which is very helpful when you need to create new forms in a common lay-out.
When creating a new XDP-form from the Workbench I'm also able to select a template, but it is actually only a list of paper sizes (A4, Letter, etc.).
Is it possible to extend or customize the templates presented in the Workbench? And if, how?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Kind regards,
Edgar van Waardenburg

I looked into this before and I was able to get customized templates to appear in the standalone version but not in the workbench version.

XDP Merging

[Running LiveCycle ES2 SP2]
I have about 30 XDP's on the server and we have a form guide where the customer will select the forms they would like. Once they have selected the forms a request is sent to LiveCycle to pull the XDP's, merge them and then convert to an interactive PDF. I am having the following issues:
We can't stitch XFA based PDFs using the LC process(Assembler). So we are trying to implement the functionality by stitching the XDPs together and to convert the merged XDP to PDF document. We are getting the merged XDP's, but we have to pass the "MergedXDP" document variable to an activity for converting to a PDF.
There are three activities that support XDP to PDF conversion that we have tried,
1 Forms - RenderPDFForm
In this case It is taking only an input of type string and expect a path where the XDP is placed in the LC server. In our case we have to give the intermediate result(Merged xdp) as a 'document' type as input. So this does not seem to help us.
2. Output - generatePDFOutput2
This is working but we are getting a flattened PDF as result. As this is Output ES activity, It will provide only flattened PDF as output, but we need non-Flattened output and we have to use renderPDFForm or convertXDPtoPDF where we are getting the error.
3. PDF Utilities - convertXDPtoPDF
We are getting "Required PDF element missing from XDP" error. We are not able to correct this..
Any help would be appreciated.

Here RenderPDFForm service will be useful:
In Input--> * Form--> by Default Literal Value is selected.
Chnage it to Variable and assign the document type variable.
Thanks

Instantiating a form as different views and merging them at the end of the workflow.

Hi,
I have a big doubt in implementing one of the crucial part of our workflow design.It goes like this.
1.we have a form which is mainly classified into five types and a total of 16 subforms.
2.the five types in which the form is divided is based on the approver and the type. of requests.
3.different views of the whole same form have to be sent to the five approvers.
4.once the approvers approve the request,a wait point must be present in the workflow,where it will wait for all the views of the form (which are approved) and must merge them into one single pdf form ie., the original form.
so the change in the views of the total form must be reflected in the main form at the end while it is merging.
also all the views of the form are to be merged in to one for the sake of arhiving and rendering it to pdf.
so my questions are..
1.How to add multiple views of the main form (xdp) in the workflow separately as individual xdp templates(based on the five types i mentioned)?
2.How to merge the form views again in to single form or how to make the changes reflect in the main from when changes are made in their views.?
thank u..

Can't generate PDF from xdp and XML

Hello,
I'm new to livecycle and flashbuilder.
I assigned as a task to send to a livecycle server a xdp template and a XML file with the data in order to create the pdf.
So far, I created a class with two methods that returns as a BLOB the strings of a xdp template and the XML data to populate the template.
On the main application I'm calling the generatePDFOutput method from the OutputService and as far as I know I'm supposed to get a Blob which I can manipulate to save it as a PDF.
What could be my error? or how should I approach this problem? I came here since I can't find some document that shows how to create pdf from a flex app using livecycle...
I appreaciate your help.

Stitching/mergigng of xdps using document builder when fragments have been used in xdps.

Hi,
I am trying to merge xdps using document builder in LiveCycle workbench. Basiclly I am using the option "Dynamic stitching" in document builder to merge more then one xdps. So I am able to do it when my xdps are not having any fragments.
But I am not able to get the merged xdp when fragments are there in my xdps.
It is throwing some error.
It says "XFA dynamic assembler failed to stitch a fragment".
So can I specify the fragment path while merging these xdps.
Please let me know the inputs on this. Or is there any other way to merge xdps which are having fragments.
Thanks in advance,
Ashish

One probable reason is that the individual XDPs have incorrect fragment references. Have you checked out
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/521/cpsid_52158.html
Any subtle mistakes in the path like a folder name specified twice in the path (as it was programmatically generated?), or an extra forward slash, etc.?
Did you try to render these XDP forms (with fragments) individually using LiveCycle process orchestration/API?

Issue generating pdf from xml template, data and StreamServer webservices

We purchased Abode LiveCycle Premium Print ES4. It included a product called StreamServe which we planned to use to merge xml templates and data into a pdf file using a StreamServe webservice (for developers). It seems the StreamServe webservices are not equal to that task. Can anyone offer a hint how this automated pdf generation can be achieved using LCPP? (I suspect it can be done using Workbench but I don't know this to be a fact.)
TIA,
Bill

Was that another shameless book plug??
Sorry, gotta run. I just got word the Fed Ex delivery of my copy of your book just arrived. Do you 'e-sign' personalized copies?
p.s. The preview of Chapter 7 (Transforming XML with XSLT) is great and filled with good clean examples and explanation.

XDP - open PDF with #toolbar=0 problem in IE

Hi
When opening PDF's using a correctly constructed XDP I specify at the end:
<pdf href="some.pdf" xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/ />
Everything works correctly in all browsers.
I would like to hide the toolbars so when I change the href to:
<pdf href="some.pdf#toolbar=0" xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/ />
the PDF opens but in IE the XDP data doesn't merge however, it works as expected in other browsers (data merge and toolbar hidden)
Has anyone else come accross this or know of a fix or workaround?
Thanks for looking.
Andy

Since your posting the XDP data to a PDF, you can merge the XDP + LC PDF using 3rd party tools, send the merged PDF to buffer (data is presented), and then pass the querystring parameter to the merged PDF.
Example URL:
http://www.url.com/mergeXDP.aspx#toolbars=0
If you are using ASP.net web servers:
Check out www.fdftoolkit.net
Web Examples:
www.nk-inc.com/software/fdftoolkit.net/examples/
If you are using Java enabled non-MS servers, check out iText.
iText can merge XML/XDP with LC forms.
For more information Google "iText merge XDP XFA", or buy the book or e-book "iText in Action Second Edition".

Rendering error with wrong template path

Hi there,
I got a processing exception during a "Render" operation. I think the problem is shown in the following log entries on the server with Adobe Document Services installed (ADS). The application is running on another system (AS1):
com.adobe.ads.remote.EJB_PDFAgent: Embedding of file/stream: DatasheetView_InteractiveForm.xdp using ID: template0 Failed:

Any ideas
Thanks ahead

Hello,
I think at the moment you are passing the xdp template source as url using the WDURLGenerator.
Instead you should send it as a stream using the appropriate pdfdocument api like this:
String templateUrl = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream templateStream = null;
templateUrl = WDURLGenerator.getPublicResourcePath(otherPart, "My_InteractiveForm.xdp");
InputStream template = new FileInputStream(templateUrl);
ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              int nRead;
              byte[] data = new byte[16384];
              while ((nRead = template.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
                        buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
              buffer.flush();
              templateStream = buffer;
IWDPDFDocumentHandler pdfDocumentHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler();
IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext pdfDocumentCreationContext = pdfDocumentHandler.getDocumentCreationContext();
pdfDocumentCreationContext.setTemplate(templateStream);
Hope this helps...

XDP in PDF

Hi, Somes questions on the XML Data Package and Javascript/ActionScript.
1 Q) Is it possible to use the Acrobat SDK to programatically embed the XDP template into a PDF?
2 Q) Is it possible to simulate user's click action (Sending windows messages) on Acrobat generated dialog using javascript or actionscript?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
With regard to the 1st question on the XDP, what i meant is If i have created a XDP template using the Adobe LiveCycle Designer, I can simply save
it as a dynamic XML form (as pdf). Is it possible to create the same dynamic XML form (as pdf) using the Adobe SDK based based on the XDP template (of .xdp extension)?
In short, can i create a dynamic XML pdf form from a XDP template?

Automatic conversion from XDP file fo PDF file

Hello!
I have an application that creates an XDP file with a certain report.
I can open the XDP file in Designer 7.0 and then save it as PDF, but I would like to know, how can I automatically produce PDF file from XDP file.
Is it possible?
Thanks for your answers,
Bostjan

Hi All:
We have a similar requirement for our product.
We have existing XDP templates (for use with Form server), but we have a need for another Client using an older version of XML Forms - AcroForms (PDF Forms).
So, we need to convert these XML forms in XDP files into PDF Forms (AcroForms). We tried File->SaveAs (PDF Forms) from Adobe designer, but it looks like the hidden fields (in XDP files) get messed-up.
Did you guys find any solution for this? I would appreciate if you can share your experiences and insights in this regard.
Thanks

Recommended Server Side merge component

Anyone recommend a server side approach and/or component,
preferably .NET, for merging a template created in Acrobat Pro with
unsigned signature fields and content which could be converted into
another PDF or inserted into the template some other way. The
resultant PDF would be routed in a workflow system for
signing.
