Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,

As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.

But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .

I try to download several PDF files by follow link:

and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.

So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?

Thank you a lot!

Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".
