XSD Generated from XFA Form

[Cheru123]

Hi,

We created a dynamic pdf form using Adobe LiveCycle. We used the export/import funcationality of the

Adobe Pro to  generate the XML from the pdf. We are trying to create an XSD of the exported XML.

But we are getting an error in the XSD itself. The error is "the schema referenced from this location in your document contains errors". , http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/

The below is the XSD we genrated.  Could you please help to resolve this issue.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:import namespace="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" />

<xs:element name="form1">

What are you using to generate the schema? I use XMLSpy and have never had am issue.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 to create the schema. I use the export and

import functionality of the pdf to generate the xml. We can create a schema

using Visual studio automatically.

The issue is the below namespace. Is this namepsace exists?. I don't know.

I cannot resolve the below url. the site is not pinging.

Are you using the xdp format of the data or the xml version ...if I export as XML then I do not get that line and you can make your schema without issue.

Did you create a button to export your data?

No. I am using the Adobe pro 9 to export the XML. There is a option to

import/export data into xml

Hi Paul,

Did you get a chance to take a look at it.

The xfa namespace does not resolve to an actual resource. It is a unique URI that Adobe owns and we use to qualify the xfa prefix. Here is an exerpt from the W3C recommendation for namespaces:

As you can see, it is not a goal that the URI be directly usable. It's main goal is to provide a unique definition for a prefix - in our case xfa.

Can ypu provide a solution?. The imported XML from the pdf contians the references to XFA. Please see the below XML.  So the tool (Visual Studio) we are using to generate the XSD is generating the namespace. Is there is a solution to it.?.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <form1>

- <RES>

- <ResData>

<RHeader xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:dataNode="dataGroup" />

- <Row1>
