I've had a few responses to a previous posting that make suggestions as to how to obtain my PDF with its data. There seem to have been two different approaches to resolving the problem - but I can get neither of them to work.
- One approach was to use the Read Resource Content operation to obtain the PDF (which I've done) and to then merge the form data into it. It was suggested that the import data operation found in the FormDataIntegration service could be used to accomplish this - however, the input parameters to this are both of type document - I have, of course, a document variable that contains the "empty" PDF, but the only variable that I has is of type xfaForm, and this can't be used an an input to this service... so I really am not clear on how I should use this service to get my data injected into the PDF document.
- Another approach seems to require taht I change the Submit buttons "Submit As" setting to PDF - supposedly this will allow me to reference the PDF via an xpath expression... but as I mention, the Submit button doesn't seem to do anything when I change its output from XDP to PDF.
I've been struggling with this (should be trivial) for weeks now - so if you can clarify what I should do, it would be immensely appreciated!
