How to bind reference with XDP fields in adaptive form while using AF core component

Hi,

 

I am facing an issue while trying to bind reference using AF core component (Adaptive Form text Input).

 

While using the legacy component (Text Box) in Adaptive form, this is the bind refence property.

On clicking on bind reference, I could see navigate through XDP structure and associate the correct field.

 

In case of core component, 

I am not able to navigate and select the right XDP field to associate with text box. Why is the difference and how do we bind the fields form xdp to AF to generate PDF with data from Adaptive form?

Hi @smrithigo,

To answer your question, yes you can create an adaptive form based on one of the following form models:

You can repurpose your XFA form templates to create adaptive forms. To repurpose, upload and associate an XFA form template with an adaptive form. The elements of the Form Template (XFA form) are made available for use in the content finder at the time of adaptive form authoring. From the Content Finder, you can drag-and-drop the form template elements on the form.

Thanks
Pranay
