Form Cannot be rendered in Workspace

Avatar

Level 2

Hai all,

I created a .xdp form using Form Design Perspective & a Process for that form in Process Design Perspective of Workbench.

After creating xfaform variable & assigning the variable to output, I activated the Process.

When I click the Process card in Workspace, the form is not seen.

I can see only a blank page instead of the rendered form.

I didn't get any Error message even.

Also, I can't see the rendered forms in Workspace, which were working well before.

Could anyone tell why this happens & how to resolve it?

I have created a Task Manager Endpoint also in Administration Console.

Your Statement: "After creating xfaform variable & assigning the variable to output, I activated the Process."     This is wrong!

You need to set the variable type as Input.

If you create a task manager endpoint, the process card will appear in the workspace.

However, you need to create one (and only one) XFA variable of type input and assign the designer form to the variable.

Thanks Nith..

I guess I was not clear enough in explaining the thing..

What I actually did is, I created a xfaForm variable of type "Input" & "Required"..

I assigned the xfaForm variable to the Assign Task operation's "Input" & "Output" (inside Form Data Mappings of Assign Task operation)..

Then, I activated the process.. & created a Task Manager Endpoint in the Admin Console..

I hope, I have made you clear what I did..

Even after that, I cant see the rendered form in Workspace ES..

I can see only a blank form.. Not even an error message..!!!

What is the Render Service Name?

Make sure that your render service is :Default Render ES Update 1

But Nith...

I have used "Render Form Guide ES Update 1" & "Submit Form Guide ES Update 1" for rendering & submitting, respectively..

which is the mentioned procedure in WorkBench ES Help..

(under "Rendering Adobe xml forms as Form Guides" topic in the "Quick starts")

Please check out the below link, which also mentions the same...

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/8.2/fggettingstarted.pdf

(under the topic "Creating an xfaForm variable" inside "Using a From Guide in Workspace ES" chapter)

Now guide me out, which one to use?!

You are correct! For Form Guides you are using the appropriate render service.

Also make sure the following points:

1. You edited your XDP form using form guide.

2. An .swc file is created under the same folder on which the XDP file presents

Sure Nith..

I have attached a .xdp file & a .pdf file, with this post...

Pls check out both!!

Also i face some problem, when I click the "Show/Hide PDF" button when the form is rendered with Guide Builder..

I get an error message, instead the rendered form..
