Issue with generating a PDF by requesting from AEM 5.6 to forms 6.4

[lksfjhadfas]

Hey Guys,

We are currently performing migration from 5.6 to 6.4 but we need to support an application in AEM 5.6 to send a request to Forms 6.4 to generate a PDF. Initially we were generating using 6.2 but now we are moving to 6.4.

I am able to generate a PDF if i request it from AEM 6.4 but i am getting an error if i request it from AEM5.6

Below is the error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

~Swetha

Swetha,

Can you please give detail on how you are invoking the PDFG service from 5.6 and 6.4? Also, Did it worked previously when you invoke the d same service from 5,6 to 6.2?

Also, why would you run and support an application on a version(5.6) which is even end of extended support[1].

It sounds to me that the you are not passing in all the inputs necessary to render the PDF (dynamic or flat?). How are you calling either the Forms or Output API?

This issue was resolved. I had special characters in the json which was creating the issue. It was painful to find it!

We are currently migrating and still have to support the existing application for our customer base.
