XDP to PDF - OSGI OutputService

I need to run through a bunch of XDPs (on a filesystem) and convert them to flattened PDFs (for print).

We have AEM Forms (OSGI).

I have been reading here but, I cannot find any reference to OutputService.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/forms/document-services/output-and-...

 

I am using the Adobe Archetype for creating custom Servlets, workflow components, etc.  I also have the the client sdk in my pom:

 <artifactId>aemfd-client-sdk</artifactId>
<groupId>com.adobe.aemfd</groupId>

 

Is there a quick tutorial that will show me how to use the OutputService to take an XDP and generate a PDF?

 

Thanks,

      @mayank_gandhi - Nice to hear from you. I see this article but, this is using FormService and not OutputService. Also, it is for exporting data. I need a Java example to merge using Output. The documentation talks about POSTing to a Sample application. I am writing this in a Servlet so, I would rather not use a RESTful endpoint. I would rather write native Java code. Is there an example like that?

            By default XDP and input prefill data will be read as w3c dom document, you need to convert to AEMFD document using ByteArrayOutputStream, tranformfactory to inputstream and then return new com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document(is)

            public static Document createFlatPDF(String pathToXDP, com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document xdp, com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document data, OutputService outputService) {
Document outDoc = null;

outDoc = outputService.generatePDFOutput(xdp, data, getPDFOutputOptions(pathToXDP));
return outDoc;
}
public static PDFOutputOptions getPDFOutputOptions(String pathToXDP) {
PDFOutputOptions options = new PDFOutputOptions();
options.setContentRoot(pathToXDP);
options.setEmbedFonts(true);
return options;
}
