Hello,
I need a solution regarding conversion of a xfa form variable into a pdf so that the solutions components like Digital Signatures, Rights Management can be implemented in the process at required places. I have a process where a user fills up a form and is sent to different users for approval based on my Business Logic. The input is a dynamic PDF which is mapped to a xfa variable which flows in the process. Some changes are required to be made in the form at various levels. For that i have mapped the xpath's to values i want to be displayed in the form at different places. Now The problem arrives when i want to implement a rights management service at Manager's level in the process. The input which this solution component takes is a pdf but i have a xfa form variable flowing in my process.
I have noticed tat many users in this forum are facing the same problem in one form or the other, none have got a convincing solution. So i would be very much grateful to a person who can provide step by step solution to this issue and solve the same. you would be helping many developers by providing the complete Solution.
Thanx in advance.

The easiest thing you be to
1- Add a renderPDFForm operation to create a PDF from an XDP file.
2- Pass the xfaForm's data (/process_data/xfaFormVar/object/data) to the data parameter of the renderPDFForm so that it merges the proper data with the XDP to re-create the PDF.
3- Add the usage rights to the PDF.
4- Create a new variable of type DocumentForm.
5- Use a SetValue to put the pdf created above in the DocumentForm variable (/process_data/DocFormVar/object/@document = /process_data/@newPDF).
6- Pass that DocumentForm variable as the input/output in the Form Data Mapping of the User step.

First you want to use the renderPDFForm from the Forms category, not Sample - Forms.
There's really only four parameters to set on the renderPDFForm:
1- Form URL: This is the url of the form template. (ex. /Forms/myForm.xdp)
2- inDocData: The data to merge with the form.
3- Content Root URI: This is the where the forms are stored (ex. repository:// if they are in the Adobe repository).
The form location should ultimately be Content Root URI + form url (repository:///Forms/myForm.xdp)
4- Rendered Form, the resulted PDF.

You get the following error in the stack trace:
"xmldata: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity., cause: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity."
That's means your variable xmldata for the data parameter doesn't contain valid xml data.
