I am trying to run the example from : https://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/aem/aem-livecycle-connector.html#Invoking%20via%20Service%20References%20from%20OSGi%20Service%20Registry

Here's the package download link on that page: https://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/livecycle/help/aem/aem-livecycle-connector/_jcr_content/main-pars/download/file.res/aem-lc-connector-sample-pkg-1.0.0.zip

Its a simple form  that converts a word doc into pdf but i am not able to run it.

I tried to trace the issue in the log and disabled few Validation components to get around HTTP 403.

But now it errors out with and am stuck. Please advise. Please find the stacktrace from errors.log

Unless I am completely mistaken, the package you have installed allows you to invoke services on a LiveCycle ES4 Server. So you need a standalone LiveCycle ES4 server running. From "http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/Overview/lc_overview_ds.pdf":

Integration with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)

LiveCycle provides a rich client SDK that allows client applications to invoke LiveCycle services using Java APIs. You can invoke LiveCycle Document Services from within Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) web apps and workflows using AEM LiveCycle Conenctor. It simplifies using these APIs within the OSGi environment and enables seamless invocation of LiveCycle Services.

So, based on the suggestions in this thread, i went ahead to download LiveCycle trial. But it seems all the LiveCycle feature are now accommodated in AEM.

http://www.adobe.com/downloads/livecycle-trial-download.html

The same dependable features that you have come to appreciate in LiveCycle are now available in Adobe Experience Manager forms (AEM forms) and so much more. AEM forms can transform complex enterprise forms and processes into simple engaging digital experiences, anytime, anywhere, on any device. For more information go to: www.adobe.com/go/aemforms

Hi Anup,

as bsloki said, you can use 3rd party libraries to generate PDF's. Here is an article for CQ5.6[1]

I think what you are looking for is Document Services [2] if using AEM6

Opkar

Thanks Opkar..

This looks like it. It states - "can easily convert documents created within the organization to Adobe PDF files that can be viewed using the ubiquitous Adobe Reader® software."

Thanks for sharing the links. Looks promising. I will look for LiveCycle like APIs for pdf conversion since i need to do this programatically.
