RIA 2 PDF - also in LC foundation / forms?

[WaldoSmeets2]

Hi,

LCDS has the capabilitie to do RIA to PDF conversion. However, a customer has some other LC components already and is not interested in the 'main' LCDS functionalities. Can this RIA-to-PDF thing also be achieved using LC Foundation or Forms?

Thanks,

Yes.

Lcds uses the same kind of functionality as forms. It just let's you

create a PDF using An XDP and the related XML. The XML could be

created by action script or by the server.

Like in lcds you would create an XML packet in action script and then

send it to an orchestration if you were using forms

Hi Nick,

I think I didn't express myself clear enough. I am referring to the specific feature where RIA 'screenshots' are send to the LCDS backend to be wrapped into a PDF. So I am not talking XML data, I am talking bitmaps.

I don't think that the screenshot functionality is an LCDS function.

For instance you can use the ImageSnapshot.captureImage() method to get an image. It will be a byteArray so you will have to decide how to get that to livecycle. You could probably get it encoded into the xml or send it as a separate variable.

There is some info here on getting a bytearray into XML http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=ByteArrays_2.html
