Trying to generate PDF using "Communications document generation" API. Doc URL - https://adobedocs.github.io/experience-manager-forms-cloud-service-developer-reference/api/sync/#tag...

Sample code suggest we can use URL. When I tried with my xdp on Azure blob with readonly public access and content type as plain text then PDF generation fails with "Error 400 The specified template is not valid. Specify a valid template and retry."

// You can also pass a URL for the template and set the content type to text/plain
		  		builder.addTextBody("template", "https://forms.enablementadobe.com/content/ocrfiles/address.xdp",ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);

Any clue? why?

Can you check if you are able to generate document by passing the template residing on your local file system as shown in the sample code?

Sample code using local files working. But not using URL as described in the code and documentation.

Thanks

can you try this url for the template

https://forms.enablementadobe.com/content/dam/xdptemplates/custom_fonts.xdp

Tried this

			builder.addBinaryBody("data", files[i]);
			// You can also pass a URL for the template and set the content type to
			// text/plain
			builder.addTextBody("template", "https://forms.enablementadobe.com/content/dam/xdptemplates/custom_fonts.xdp", ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
			builder.addBinaryBody("options", GetOptions.getPDFOptions().getBytes(), ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON,
					"options");

But failed with error

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>Error 400 The specified template is not valid. Specify a valid template and retry.</title>
</head>
<body><h2>HTTP ERROR 400 The specified template is not valid. Specify a valid template and retry.</h2>

Working if I specify content type like below. However, same is not working if i pass json as data. Bit weird.

		URL xmlUrl = new URL("https://<hostname>/DataFile.xml");
		builder.addBinaryBody("data", xmlUrl.openStream(), ContentType.DEFAULT_BINARY, "data.xml");

		URL xdpUrl = new URL("https://<host>/XSDBasedForm.xdp");
		builder.addBinaryBody("template", xdpUrl.openStream(), ContentType.DEFAULT_BINARY, "test.xdp");
