How to display a word document in LiveCycle

[Former Community Member]

Hi guys,

I want to create a dynamic pdf form by using LiveCycle Designer ES. In one part of my pdf form I want to display the content from another Word Document. That means this content will automatically update as long as I change the content in Word Document. How can I do that? Or Can LiveCycle do that? Thanks!

So you want to import the word file on the fly when the PDF document is opened?

I do not believe you will be able to do that.

Hi Paul,

For this situation is it possible to bind fields to a word doc? I can't see how it would be convenient, I'm just curious to know if it can be done at all.

Word is not a valid data source. You can connect to ODBC connections or web services. if you want to create one of those to return the doc then so be it ....but you cannot connect to Word directly.
