Author: Brian Hawkins One of our customers here at MiaProva is expanding their testing efforts and use of Adobe Target well beyond their www and mobile site. They are bringing Adobe Target to their Email Platform, and we are helping them do so. The magic that is making this possible is Adobe Target’s Delivery API. You have to call Adobe Target before emails get sent because you can’t put mboxes or Adobe Target server calls in email. The Delivery API does precisely this. It calls Adobe Target with data, just as a client-side mbox does on the site, and it gets a response based on any Activities and Audiences configured in Adobe Target. Host Groups The challenge this organization is dealing with was permissions within Adobe Target. The team developing this incredible capability for email testing with Adobe Target didn’t have the necessary Approver rights. Given they were new to Target and this organization has hundreds of live activities in place, handing out Approver rights was

What are your AEM Hosting Options? by Peter Nash Abstract The early years of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) development had a lot of customers asking, “how am I supposed to host this site?” The challenges to find a solid and secure system to host an AEM site were quite large. Adobe had a real problem on its hands because often, the infrastructure that was independently set up by customers was insufficient to the task or was done so by people who weren’t skilled enough in the system to be able to correctly do it. This caused a lot of heartburn for those organizations that made large investments in license fees and implementation costs. Thankfully, the years of maturity and ownership by Adobe have simplified the ways to properly host an AEM site. Today, there are 3 basic ways to host an AEM environment: Self Hosted, Adobe Managed Services, and AEM as a Cloud Service. Let’s quickly break down each one. Self-Hosted — This typically means that the organization is completely responsible f

Hi Adobe Engineers,   We have a use case where XDP template is used to render the form as HTML. This form contains the HTML submit button. The user accesses this form from an URL, fills the data and clicks the HTML submit button. The outputService.generatePDFOutput()  method is used to generate a flat PDF and it is sent to the client browser.  The HTTP submit button is not visible in the flat PDF since its field property is set to 'visible (screen only)' . But if this same form is saved as interactive PDF using formsService.renderPDFForm() method then the HTTP submit button is present in the output interactive PDF. What needs to be done differently to generate interactive forms without the presence of HTTP submit button? Thanks is advance for the response. Leena

The company I am working with has been using commerce assets to create some content. In the scaffolding, they have a tag field that is used to get titles associated with an asset. When the dialog is rendered, this field is having the style="display: none;" attribute added to the field.   My question is: What would be setting this when the dialog is being rendered?   I need this field to be visible when the authors are updating information.   There isn't any show/hide logic in the dialog so that can't be it.

Adobe study reveals Australian Government agencies are underutilising digital process solutions by Adobe Abstract During the pandemic, collaboration became paramount, especially for government agencies that needed to find new ways to work together and serve citizens diligently.

Adobe recently launched new research conducted by Forrester Consulting about the opportunities and challenges Australian Government agencies face with their digital transformation journeys, including digital document processes and e-signatures. The research uncovered that while the disruptions from the pandemic forced local agencies to accelerate their digital initiatives, most still used a hybrid approach of paper-based and digital documents, with the minority of respondents saying their agency had fully digitised its document processes.
