Generating XML within Designer

Avatar

Former Community Member
Hi all.

I'm usign Adobe Designer 7.x and i'm designing aform for use with LiveCycle Forms, ReaderExt and Workflow.



I need to submit some XML data from a PDF that has an embedded schema.

The problem is that this form have to pass two parameters to my webservice, among which one is a string that contains the XML data from the form.



So, my question is: is it possible to generate an XML string containing the XML data and to copy this XML in a textfield in the form, so that I can bind this to one of the two parameters of the webservice?



I tried with SaveXML() but it doesn't seem to generate a plain XML and also it seems to be limited to only one subform a time.



Thanks,

Aldo

Aldo,

Try this...



var xmldata = xfa.data.ROOT_NODE.saveXML();

xfa.host.messageBox(xmldata);



Note: Substitute 'ROOT_NODE' with the name of the root node of your xml schema.
