Instead of using a RenderFormGuide and then assigning to a user, why don't you just configure the creation of the guide within the user step?

If you use ES2, you just configure the Presentation & Data tab, by selecting the guide (within assets) and specify the data within Initial Task Data.

If you use ES, you need to configure the render service from the xfaForm variable.

Hi Jasmin,

Thanks for your reply.
We are experimenting "RenderFormGuide" activity. We want know how to use this activity effectivily.
We already knew that we can assign guide to next user by configure Presentation & Data tab.
We want to do it using the "RenderFormGuide" activity.

We are getting com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.exception.RenderFormException: com.adobe.forms.guide.GuideGenerator: Missing <guides> tag error when we record and playback the process.......

From the error, it look like your guide (filename.guide) is not valid.

Are you passing a *.guide file to the operation?

Hi Jasmin,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the entire configuration i have done with this activity:

Input

Form to render:
Student.xdp(which is created using the same datamodel as that of the guide)

Form Data:

formdata.xml(which is obtained when the guide is submitted)

pdf form render options(just mentioning the ones i have changed):

cache form on server:true

acrobat version: 9 and above

populate xml data:true

Form guide render options:

Guide Name: StudentGuide.guide

guide pdf:true

guide submit all:true

inject form bridge:true

Url Options:

Content root uri: repository:///Applications/guidePDF/1.0/forms/

Output:

Result:formResultVar

Rendered form: renderformdocumentvar

The output rendered form i am trying to assign it to a user, when opened it shows blank guide without any tabs and content

When i change the cb option to true i am getting the missing guides error or else i amnot getting any error .......

Thanks

In ES2, you can only render a guide from a *.guide file and NOT from an XDP.

The capability will be added again with SP1 coming shortly.
