Hi everybody!
I am using LiveCycle Data Services to generate a dynamic pdf. I worked with this tutorial : livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/pdfgen_1.html and i adapted the code to my own example.
I created a pdf template with livecycle designer and i succeed to generate the pdf thanks to LiveCycle Data Services.
Here is my problem :
In LiveCycle Designer i create a table and bind my data connection (from xml source) to this table and i bind subforms to repeating data.
It works when i try to open an overview of the pdf with LiveCycleDesigner.
But when i try to generate the pdf with livecycle data service, there is no repeat of my data. There is only a number of items corresponding to the minimum of repeating i set in livecycle designer binding window...
Is it possible to generate repeating data with LiveCycle DS ?
an example of my xml source :
<item id="1">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
<item id="2">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
In livecycle designer, if i set the minimum of repeating to 1, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only one item.
if i set the minimum of repeating to 2, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only 2 items. etc.
I don't know how to generate an indeterminate number of items...
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bye
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
there is no limitation. Dynamic PDF files can be generated with Livecycle Data Services.
You should have a look at the XML file generated by your Flex code. Try to save it and see how the XML file behaves when you generate a PDF preview with Designer. You can go to the menu: File > Properties > Preview > Use XML test data...
With the XFAHelper class, you can either load a PDF or a XDP file. Have you tried with a XDP ?
I've attached a dynamic PDF file that I've created for a customer. I generate a dynamic PDF file using LiveCycle Data Services. Maybe you'll find some clues within the file.

Hi Michael !
Thanks for your response. Finally, I found the solution. It was not because of my XML, which was correctly generated. I saved my PDF template as a "dynamic PDF" instead of "static pdf" and it solved my problem.
