Merge XDP Templates

Avatar

Former Community Member
Hi,



I have 4 different XDP templates and the pdfs are rendered for each template perfectly . So in all 4 different PDFS are generated during runtime. All the 4 templates have different Master Page . My question is can we merge the 4 templates so that only one PDF get generated?



I know there are API's which do merge PDFs but we want to check whether there is any funcitonality in Form Server 7.1 to achieve this.



Thanks,



Mohit

Stitching multiple XDP templates together is a very difficult thing to do and there are currently no

commercially available products that will do it. You're better off taking one of the following

approaches:

- If your forms are dynamic (i.e. the form grows or shrinks) then you're better off building a

single XDP template with 4 separate body page definitions

- If your forms are static, then you can merge the PDFs as a post process using LiveCycle

Assembler or some other commercially available software that will merge PDFs together.
