Can not Render the form

[Former Community Member]

Hi all,<br /><br />I am a beginner and have a trouble with Form Server Render Form Q-pac.<br /><br />I try to render PDF from a xml file using Q-pac. But error message below returns.<br /><br />i com.adobe.formServer.interfaces.RenderFormException: java.lang.Exception: <br />i xmldata: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.<br /><br />I do not know what this error message means. But using DocumenteExport Q-pac, I tried to write form variables to file. I set the document variable export to the file. <br /> I noticed that CR is inserted in the strange point like this.<br /><br />i <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><br />i <?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.4.6053.0"?><br /><br />i <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"><br /><br />i <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"<br /><br />i ><xfa:data<br /><br />i ><Message<br /><br />i ><DecideRoute<br /><br />i ><Route<br /><br />i >Process</Route<br /><br />i ></DecideRoute<br /><br />i ><FormName<br /><br />i ><Form <br /><br />I am grateful thanks to someone to let me know how the error message means and why the CR appears in the strange points.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Akira

Hi Akira

It's nothing to do with carriage returns - something else is going wrong. Please send the values that you're entering into the RenderForm QPAC.

You may also try our RenderPlus QPAC, which you can download from:

http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml

It does the same thing, but is a little easier to use.

Your error says: xmldata: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.



This indicates that the xmldata you are sending into your workflow is not properly created/formed (The input to the your Form Server Render Form Q-pac is not following specific standards).



According to http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_dtd.asp:



A "Well Formed" XML document is a document that conforms to the XML syntax rules that were described in the previous chapters:



* XML documents must have a root element

* XML elements must have a closing tag

* XML tags are case sensitive

* XML elements must be properly nested

* XML attribute values must always be quoted

Hi Howard and David,



David,

I checked all the xsd files being included by the form, but I could not find the wrong point. I will keep checking. Thanks.



Howard,

Thank you for your advice. I downloaded the RenderPlus Q-pac from the Aboka websites(Are you a member of Avoka?). This Q-pac worked well!

It seems that this form becomes a static PDF though I saved this file as a dynamic PDF. I do not have a authority to buy a software license, so I will ask the server administrator to buy this Q-pac.



I am very thanks to your advice.



Regards,

Akira

Hi Akira



To make the form dynamic, you must use the "PDFForm" option instead of "PDF".



I'm glad you've managed to get RenderPlus working.

And yes, I am an employee of Avoka.

Howard
