Hi,

I create a flow on LiveCycle Workbench that print a document (with policy applied or without).

So I want be use a safe communication channel betwwen LiveCycle server and printer, to avoid any person intercept this message between both and have access to that file.

I have a doubt about sendToPrinter operation and printer protocols:

- The protocols (CUPS, Direct IP, LPD, CIFS) available on LiveCycle provide this security that I want?

Reading the documentation I don't find this information.

Thank you!

Hi all,

I wonder if it should be possible to convert a form that contains digitally signed XML into a PDF/a?

I have tried the ConvertToPDFA service in LC ES 2.5, but it does not seem to work as I expect. During the conversion I wonder why 3 things happen:

1. The PDF/a shows as a PDF/a in Reader - however in the PDFAConversionResult the "isPDFa" node is set to false.

2. In my resulting PDF/a I get all my pages twice. Meaning if my original form was 1 page I get 2 pages in my resulting PDF/a, the last page without data in the fields.

3. The resulting PDF/a does not show as containing digitally signed data - however the input Form does show up as the data being digitally signed.

Is this a bug or does any one of you have an idea of how I should approach this challenge?

Thanks in advance

Sincerely

Hello,

We just upgraded to ES3, and for load testing, I submitted 1000 xml files to a watch folder.  The process that picks up the files merges the data with a template and dispatches the documents to a printer.  We had this same memory issue in the past on an older version of LiveCycle, but we increased the swap space according to http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2010/05/livecycle_formsivs_and_output i.html and the problem went away. 

Here's what our current swap space is:

Swap:  4200912k total,  2478116k used,  1722796k free,   932596k cached

Is there a good way to resolve this error?  Or are we supposed to bump up the swap even higher now?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi,

I am creating a prototype with LC Output. The calling application will produce big XML file - Batch with more than1000 records.

Example XML data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<BATCH>

<formDataRecords>

<LC_KOMA002>

<customerNameAddress>Jensens Biludlejning</customerNameAddress>

<customerNameAddress>Vestergade 21c</customerNameAddress>

<customerNameAddress>7100 Vejle</customerNameAddress>

</LC_KOMA002>

<LC_KOMA002>

<customerNameAddress>Pete Petersen</customerNameAddress>

<customerNameAddress>Vestergade 10</customerNameAddress>

<customerNameAddress>7100 Copenhagen</customerNameAddress>

</LC_KOMA002>

...

</formDataRecords>

...

In a setVariables step I extract the XML data to be merged with formTemplate. I extract all all nodes under <formDataRecords> in a new XML variable.

I use this xml as input data to a GeneratePDFOutput (LC Output). The GeneratePDFOutput is set up with 'multiple streams&apos; and &apos;record level&apos; 2 and &apos;Record name&apos; = <LC_KOMA002>. I use the &apos;Output Location URI&apos; to save the pdf with incremental filename xxx1,2,3,4.pdf

The workflow works fine with 500 records - here it produces 500 pdf files with 1 page.

Problem:

When running with 1000 records or more my process does not produce any pdf. The watchedfolder take my XML datafile. But after 3-4 min. it returns this error in the ERROR server log.

2010-08-12 11:52:00,484 WARN [com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.logging.arjLoggerI18N] [com.arjuna.ats.arjuna.coordinator.BasicAction_58] - Abort of action id a10ed08:ce4d:4c596be4:15f4fee invoked while multiple threads active within it.

It seems like GeneratePDFOutput run out of memory in some way when it handles more that 500 records.

I hope that you have ideas to configuration/settings that can be used on the Adobe LC server or CL Output so that it can handle large batch jobs??

I look forward to all you clever solutions - I really want to show the customer Adobe LC can do this one :)

I have a simple question that has to do with placements of watermarks.

In my DDX I add a Watermark to my result node like this:

<DDX><PDF result="OutputPDF" return="true">                    <Watermark  verticalAnchor="Bottom" rotation="90">                              <StyledText font-family="'Calibri'" font-size="12pt" color="green">                                        <p>Watermark Text...here comes a much longer text than usual</p>                              </StyledText>                    </Watermark>  <PDF source="Section1">                    </PDF></PDF></DDX>

Looks great, but when the "Watermark text" get longer it grows out of the bottom of the page. It seems as if the Watermark text is "centered" and grows "both ways" so to say. How can I avoid this, I want to Watermark text to grow only upwards,

Said in another way, I need the Watermark text to have a fixed/absolute point of beginning. See picture below for further explanation of my issue...

I hope some of you out there have had the same issue as me and perhaps have an idea at how to solve it - or that you can tell me whether it is a bug or not.

The LiveCycle server is a JBoss turn-key installation on my Windows machine.  The code is basically copied form the API quick start, with a change of the file names only, and is attched below.  

Your help on this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I created a form with drop down lists, date, and check boxes with a submit button to e-mail the users when it is complete. I can get the the form to attach to the email program and send it but it is still editable. I need for this one person to fill out the form, click the submit button to e-mail the form as a PDF document. What am I doing wrong. I created this form in Adobe Lifecycle Designer 8.0. Please see a screen shot below. When the user completes the form AND clicks on the "send e-mail' button I want it to send a PDF file with the information that she filled out. I am getting that but I can still change the dates and hospitals and check boxes and that is what I DON'T want. I want the PDF form to be like a document. Any one have any ideas. I have just started working with Adobe and and Adobe lifecycle so I am not proficient. (at all!)

Hi all,

I have a strange issue withh assembler using the following ddx:

<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
    <PDF result="process:///process_data/@outputPDF">
        <PDF source="process:///process_data/@renderXDP" >
           <XFAData source="process:///process_data/@inputXML"/>
        </PDF>
        <NoForms/>
    </PDF>
    <DocumentInformation result="process:///process_data/outResult" source="process:///process_data/@outputPDF"/>
</DDX>

I am trying to get information on the number of pages that has been generated - this is collected in the outResult variable. I need this information in my orchestration.

However when I open the form I get strange characters instead of the swedish Ä Ö and Å (instead I get some like "Ã¥ lÃ" and alike) in my forms textfields.

If I try to render the same xdp form with the same xml data using the generatePDF service I get no problems, the sedish characters are the all ok. What can I do to make this right with Assembler/DDX?

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

I designed a process where it is needed to send a PDF file to 2 different printers (not at the same time). So to simplify the process I defined a XML within the server ( C:\config.xml ) with the information necessary to send the job to the printer, and contains the information that the operation sendToPrinter needs:

- Printer Protocol

- Server URI

- Printer Name.

So instead of placing the values for this operation, I read the values from the XML file. The problem is, the sendToPrinter operation expects the Printer Protocol as a specific type: PrinterProtocol (obvious heheh). And my variable is String.

How can I convert this?

Thanks!

Hi.

We have a JetForms/Solaris installation and we are thinking migrate to LC Output/Windows

We need to know the following:

1.- What are the steps involved in the migration 

2.- What we needed to migrate our templates (.ifd) and data files (.dat) to LC Output?

Thanks in advance.

Diego.

I need to create mailing/address labels.  There will be multiple addressees and most likely mutiple pages using Avery 5160.  We are using coldfusion as the front end and oracle as the backend.  My thought is to use an avery 5160 template which I found on the web, insert text fields for the database fields and somehow merge.  But I'm not sure if this is the right way to approach it OR if this is the way to approach it...how?  Do I set up each label with the text fields for the name, address etc. this would be 3 labels across and 10 down for a total of 30? We have Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 and Acrobat Prof 9 to use.

Thanks,

Sherry

I am trying to flatten a PDF using OutputService's transformPDF method. When I use the TransformationFormat.PDFA option so that I retain the fonts, I get an error saying similar to "Unable to find the font 'Impact'. Font substitution not allowed for PDF/A". Now the questions I have are:

1. If I want to flatten a PDF using APIs while retaining the fonts, is transformPDF method with TransformationFormat.PDFA argument the right choice? Will the size be so high that I do not get any benefit out of flattening?

2. If that is the right choice, how do I add/install fonts to LiveCycle server so that all the fonts I use are available during the transformPDF process?

Please note that I have the fonts embedded in the non-flattened PDF, thus making it look as designed in any computer it opens. I have thousands of forms which uses a variety of forms are they were designed and developed over many years with little or no style guidelines in the initial stages. Now if I flatten these forms as TransformationFormat.PDF, the fonts are substituted which make the text overflow or overlap and thus the form ugly and sometimes unacceptable. This is the reason why I looked at the TransformationFormat.PDFA option.
