Having read this article I was trying for LiveCycle Designer form. Same xml file is working well for Acro form but getting error for designer form. It shows xml content not perfect.

How can I parse external data for LC designer form in free reader?

Hi,

you'll have to add Reader Extensions to the PDF to enable data import in Reader.

This is only possibly by using LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. If we use xfa.host.importData(), it needs LiveCycle Reader Extensions. However, Thom Parker is showing util.readFileIntoStream() and util.readFileIntoStream().

Through Above method data can be imported in adobe reader for Acro Form. I was trying for LC form but cannot parse.

Do I have to need also LiveCycle Reader Extensions for above method?

Is it possible for LC Designer Form what Thom Parker shows for acroForm?

should be possible.
