Hi all, I have been banging my head on this issue for a couple of days and hope someone has some experience to offer.
We are replacing PDFs generated by cfdocument with PDF templates developed in LiveCycle Designer, due to the issues we have had trying to get our results to be consistent. I have what I feel is a solid PDF Form template going,and I can populate the form using cfpdfform. The one issue I am having is trying to get flowable content working. If you have worked with LiveCycle Designer you will know what flowable content is. If you haven't, its the ability to allow users to fill in data in a PDF form and the PDF will expand to fit the content. I have this working (flowable content) in the PDF only when I save it as a "Dynamic XML Form". I can add data to my form fields and the document expands as expected. This behavior does not occur when saved as a standard PDF Form. From the limited information i have read, this is by design. When I save the document as a Dynamic XML Form and try to populate it with CF I get the following error: An exception has occurred in the processing of PDF forms. '' Pretty vague. Yes, this is even with debugging enabled :) I can't seem to do anything to populate the Dynamic PDF Form without causing this error. What's odd is that I can read the document just fine. I can populate it manually, and a cfdump shows the data as an XML structure (that's good!). I can also use the same method to populate a standard PDF Form, both using XML and <cfpdfformparam>. The only thing that isn't working is populating the Dynamic XML Form from CF. Can someone tell me if this is unsupported, or if there is a workaround? We sincerely hate the cfdocument method we have been using, cfpdfform has made this so much faster, cleaner and more reliable. I would be happy to provide a copy of my template from LiveCycle Designer as well as a code sample.
