XDP For a PDF in AEM Forms

[Rama_KrishnaNy]

Hi all,

I have a PDF file for a form with logo, images and styling.

How to create an XSD that could be used as a Model while creating an AEM Adaptive Form so that while entering form in AEM Adaptive Form, the PDF appears exactly same?

Is there a tutorial for a sample PDF?

Appreciate all your responses.

Thanks,

RK.

Hi @Rama_KrishnaNy ,

You cannot make an Adaptive Form look exactly like your PDF using only an XSD, because an XSD provides only the data structure (fields and hierarchy) and does not include any layout, styling, fonts, images, or design elements. To replicate the exact look of your PDF in an Adaptive Form, you must first recreate or convert your PDF into an XDP file using Adobe AEM Forms Designer. The XDP format carries the full layout—logos, images, fonts, and styling—so when you build an Adaptive Form using this XDP as the template, the form can visually match your original PDF. There is no automated tutorial for converting any PDF to XDP; the design must be recreated manually in Designer.

Thanks
