Form Server Render Form QPAC problem

[Former Community Member]

Hi,



I'm still having problem with FSRF QPAC, can someone tell what setting i should use for "Adobe LiveCycle Forms Settings -> Locations" and FSRF QPAC Input tab. I have standard turnkey installation of Workflow, Forms and Form Manager.



For now i got this error using above QPAC:

Well, off the top of my head from the info given in that stack trace,you'll want to change your Form Query to /Forms/sql_sample1.xdp and the Content Root URI to xappstore://pluton .



You may want to take a look at the documentation that comes with the Workflow SDK for the QPAC, it explains the input parameters to use in pretty decent detail.

Can you post what settings you are using in the input tab?



> And what about "Adobe LiveCycle Forms Settings -> Locations"



Leave the defaults.

My input tab values:<br />-Form Query: /Forms/sql_sample1.xdp<br />-Form Preference: PDF<br />-Options: TaggedPDF=false<br />-Input XML Data:<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><sql_sample1><br /><company_name>some name</company_name><br /><company_adress>some adress</company_adress><br /><company_phone>777222111</company_phone><br /></sql_sample1><br /><br />-Content Root URI: xappstore://pluton<br />-Base URL: http://pluton:8080/<br /><br />That's all.<br />And Chris, if You could remind me what are the defaults for "Adobe LiveCycle Forms Settings -> Locations", there are only four fields.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br />&#321;ukasz P&#281;kalak

Ok, try these changes:



Options: Put quotes around this. I don't think this is necessary, but just in case.



Input XML Data: I believe you'll need quotes around this. Or alternatively, put the XML in a string process variable, and put an XPath expression to the variable here.



Base URL: Leave this blank.



For the variable under Locations, they should all be blank except:



XCI Configuration URI: com/adobe/formServer/PA/pa.xci

Font Map URI: com/adobe/formServer/client-font-map.properties

Ok,



made changes with quotes, Base URL leaved blank. And the error is:



...

And i don't have such settings as XCI Configuration URI and Font Map URI.

That exception comes from an error happening when trying to parse the data. Have you tried putting the XML in a string process variable and using an XPath expression to that in the QPAC?

If you remove the XML data parameter and execute the application are you still receiving errors?



If so, we know that your configuration, deployment and execution are functioning properly and that the XML data parameter needs to be modified to be successful.

Hi,



i remembered that i have mapped a network place "http://pluton:8080/appstore/Forms/", so i checked if i can see the forms. And i was ask for user and password! Bang Bang! So i entered in Render Form QPAC user and password and it looks better now.



Few more problems with XML data and it's finally working.



So it looks like user name and user password are mandatory fields.



Summary:

in FSFR QPAC i filled fields:

-form query

-form preference

-input xml data (only if you want to fill form fields)

-content root uri (xappstore://pluton)

-user name

-user password



and in output tab

-output document (variable of type document).



Great,

BTW, in lc_wf_write_PDF_tip.pdf which is instruction for writing pdf to the file system, maybe i'm wrong, is one mistake:

you can't switch line:



String file_str = patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue(/process_data/@Output_Filename);



with:



File file_str = new File(C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Expense Form\\outputfile.pdf);



In this lines file_str variable is of different types. Or maybe it doesn't matter ;)



That's all for now, thank You all for help, and see You on Document Security forum ;))

Correction:

My post should have read

"If not, we know that your configuration, deployment and execution are functioning properly and that the XML data parameter needs to be modified to be successful."



Sorry for any confusion.

I have a more basic question, but similar to this one. I have very little experience with this QPAC, but need to simply convert the XDP data to a PDF. The end goal is to send a mid-workflow e-mail to a few key people, and attach the PDF to that e-mail. (Rather than those users to log in and actually take an action on the form). I know I can go through a User QPAC and set the input variable to my XDP form variable and the output to my Document/PDF variable, but I am seeking a solution that does not require user interaction at that point in the workflow.



I am assume that the Form Server Render Form is the QPAC I need, but can't seem to find examples anywhere of settings and parameters from which to learn.



Any thoughts?
