Hello everyone!
I have a form/workflow in LiveCycle which is giving me some errors.
Here are the steps leading up to the error:
- A PDF form is hosted on a corporate intranet website. A user opens
the form and fills it out.
- The user clicks on an email submit button in the form, which
launches the user's mail application and attaches the form data as XML
(just XML, not XDP).
- The email is sent to a mailbox for which an email endpoint has been
set up in LiveCycle.
- The endpoint initiates a LiveCycle process and passes in the XML
file as an input XML variable.
- The first step in the workflow is a setValue step which copies the
XML into the .../xdp/datasets/data node of an xfaForm variable.
This all works fine if I am submitting from Acrobat. The next step in
the process is to assign the form to a user for review. At this point
the form is displayed to the reviewer and contains all of the data
that was in the initial form.
Unfortunately, I've run into a snag. If I submit from Reader, the XML
gets attached the the email okay, but it has a large block of comments
automatically embedded in the XML. If I keep these comments in the
XML, my setValue step in the process stalls with the error seen
below. If I remove the comments from the XML file before submitting,
everything works fine. Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this
error? It looks to me like it might possibly be a LiveCycle bug.
Thanks!
Justin
