Merge two xdps and make a pdf in AEM Forms

[KirtiKhatri94]

Hi Team,

Here is my use case : There is one address fragment (xdp1) and there is one main form xdp2. Want to merge xdp1 into xdp2 and generate a pdf after merging. How do we do that in AEM Forms? Thank you !

Hi,

I want to use @reference AssemblerService

assemblerService.invoke(ddxDocument, mapOfDocuments, aoSpec);

but I am getting below error :

java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl cannot be cast to class com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document (com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl is in module java.xml of loader 'bootstrap'; com.adobe.aemfd.docmanager.Document is in unnamed module of loader org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl$BundleClassLoader @796cec8d)

 Any help here?

Hi @KirtiKhatri94 

Did you try to add log debuggers and see where it's getting failed/throwing exception.

1. Is this exception occurs while merging XDP files/ while creating PDF?

2. Did you try to save merged XDP and see whether it's merged properly or not?

Hi Siva,

I am using below DDX :

<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<XDP result="GeneratedDocument.xdp">
<XDP source="map.xdp"/>
<XDP source="directions.xdp"/>
</XDP>
</DDX>

Trying to merge two xdps which I have kept in dam. 

I am getting below error :

java.io.IOException: Error of type 'javax.jcr.RepositoryException' thrown on attempting operation 'CONNECT' on URL 'crx://<DDX xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/'

Hope you're following the steps mentioned here.

Also,Are you trying to connect AEM though external service? 

Is it possible to share the sample code here? 

[KirtiKhatri94]

Its resolved !! but How do we give coordinates so that fragment should come at correct position in main form?

For Resolving below issue:

java.io.IOException: Error of type 'javax.jcr.RepositoryException' thrown on attempting operation 'CONNECT' on URL 'crx://<DDX xmlns='http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/'

I kept http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/ in Schemas and DTDs inside Languages & Frameworks inside settings in intellij and then built my maven code.

Hi,

How do we give fragment name in ddx that needs to be merged in main xdp ?

Is there any enhancements in Assembler service in any of the service pack?

Because getting below error even when passing the right fragment name in ddx: 

Caused by: com.adobe.fd.assembler.client.AssemblerException$ClientException: PDFM_S28003: XFA Assembly unable to assemble required XFA Fragment
