ES2 dynamic DDX generation

[kevinmortimer11]

Hi All,

I want to create a PDF Package/Portfolio of non-PDF files where the number of attachments can vary but with a static PDF coversheet.

does anybody have a ES2 sample that can dynamically create the DDX?

Hello,

For dynamically create a DDX, see here : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/index.html?content=000967.html#1551956

For portfolio DDX, some example are here : http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycledocs/2009/01/using_assembler_to_create_pdf.html

Hi L. Fernandez

The link you gave are great but I want to dynamically create a DDX using a LCES process.

Any suggestions?

Kev,

The attached ES2 .lca does dynamic document assembly using a custom script. You can drop any number of flattened PDFs into the watched folder to assemble a PDF.

The process is depicted below.

Notes:

1) Process includes logic to calculate elapsed Assembler processing time, which may or may not be useful.

2) As you are probably aware PDFs have to be flattened for assembly. The process does not flatten PDFs.

The custom script is depicted below. It iterates over the list of map keys to build the DDX.
