Writing flattened PDF on disk !!

Avatar

Level 4

Hi,

Please help me on this.

I have a livecycle process which uses a template PDF Form and a process variable ( XML Form Data ). In this long lived process there are multiple steps (users, operations etc.). At the LAST Step I need to write a flattened PDF file (Template Form with final XML Data) on disk.

The way I tried:

Step: 1 -

  • Placed a generatePDFOutput service, Here I merge template with xml form data,
  • Output stored in another process variable 'outDoc' of document type.

Step: 2 -

  • Place a Write Document service next to above step. Input document - outDoc (output doc of previous step)
  • Set others parameters, In Pathname Patterns I have just set the directory path.

But when I am running this, it is giving an error.

Error-

Make sure to set the "PDF Output" from the Output section and not the "Output Result" from the Additional Result to your document variable.

PDF Output uses a document variable where Output Result takes a OutputResult data type.


Somehow the error is saying you're trying to put document variable into an integer.

What are you settings for the Write Document operation?

Hi,

You are right Jasmin, Datatype of outDoc was of int type so it caused error. I missed it. I have correct its type to document and it worked

Thanks for your help !!
