Hi
I have a scenario where, the form must be submitted as PDF content_type, i.e while designing the form, I am setting the submit form as "PDF" format. I have written a J2EE application that receives the submitted form. Here is what, I am doing.
Document formData =
new Document(request.getInputStream());
formData.copyToFile(
new File("C:/home1/eformwas/InputFile.pdf"));
I ensured that the submitted content from the web browser is a pdf file by opening the InputFile.pdf in the acrobat reader and I verified that the form is siubmitted with the data that I have posted.
Next step, I wanted to process this form, and extract out some of the data elements in it. Hence I did the following
RenderOptionsSpec processFormSubmissionOptionsSpec =
new RenderOptionsSpec();
processFormSubmissionOptionsSpec.setXMLData(
true);
processFormSubmissionOptionsSpec.setPDF2XDP(
true);
processFormSubmissionOptionsSpec.setExportDataFormat(
"XMLData");
formsResultObject = formsServicesClientObject.processFormSubmission(formData ,
"HTTP_REFERER=referrer&HTTP_CONNECTION=keep-alive& CONTENT_TYPE=application/pdf&CONTENT_TYPE=application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml&CONTENT_TYPE=text/xml",
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)",
processFormSubmissionOptionsSpec);
When I execute the above code, I get the following error at processFormSubmission method,
Caused by: com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.exception.FormServerException: Parse error on document: DataSets error: Parse error on document: FSRequest error: Content is not allowed in prolog.
Any idea, of what is causing this issue. Can I process a form that is submitted as "pdf" content type.? I guess, I can.
As a cross check, I created the whole scenario by creating a process in the LC process modeller and used the processFormSubmission task of the Forms Service and I was successful in processing the form. Not sure, am I missing to set something in RenderOptionSpec or is this a bug in LC SDK ?
LiveCycle error log, also reports the error when invoked through LC SDK API
[1/26/10 11:13:36:627 EST] 0000008a FormServerExc E com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.logging.FormsLogger logMessage ALC-FRM-001-016: Parse error on document: DataSets error: Parse error on document: FSRequest error: Content is not allowed in prolog.
However, everything works like a charm if processFormSubmission invoked as part of LC process model. I even downloaded the data part as getOutputXML task in the process model and it looks well formed.
Will greatly appreciate your response.
Many Thanks
