Thanks Kautik.If there's a possible ootb (-ish) solution for this it'll
be of great help.I guess adaptive document / pages should be convertible
to PDF (either through
http://blogs.adobe.com/sunil/2013/04/29/creating-pdf-output-in-adobe-cq/
or through PDF generator? - let me know if wrong).The question is on how
to get data from services (say osgi ones) into adaptive documents. I
could see in the documentation that data dictionary can be used for
loading adaptive docs with dynamic data. But data...
Thank you all for the answers on this.I was definitely thinking of a
custom solution (using PDFBox etc) for this as an option.But if there
was an ootb solution, would have preferred to use that as an option.Can
an adaptive document be used for this? Is it capable of having dynamic
data loaded into it? The data in the XML is coming from REST services,
so if adaptive documents supports dynamic data then at run time, all the
required data can be loaded into it and the document itself rendered as
a ...
Hello,Reposting to the right forum:I came across this link which talks
about capability of converting HTML to PDF in 'PDF
Generator':https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6-1/aem-document-services-programmatically.html?#PDFGeneratorServiceI
was trying to understand what the end result of this conversion would be
- Does the conversion happen as is i.e. after conversion, when you open
the PDF, the fully rendered HTML page will be displayed in the PDF? Or
the PDF will contain the HTML markup code?Or is...

Thanks Scott for the answer.I do know clientlibs are used to add styles.
My question was mainly around applying styles through the use of
cq:designPath as given here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/sunil/2015/04/29/aem-developers-apply-a-design-to-the-aem-sightly-template/In
case of cq:designPath, all styles added under that path would get
applied. If you want to change the style, it's just a matter of pointing
cq:designPath to a different design path.What I was asking was, does
cq:designPath bear any i...
Hello, Had a question regarding AEM designer.From what I have read of it
(mainly from here :
https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/develop/the-basics/designer.html)
it's used to give different look and feel to the same set of components
/ pages depending on the design path that is set on the page. But in the
examples shown, the css file is not added as a clientlib or under a
clientLibFolder. Is it possible to bring the benefits of designer to
components where clientlibs are used? In other words...
Hello, I was just wondering why the new forms in AEM are called
'adaptive'? Is it because of their responsive design in that they will
adapt the layout and look / feel based on the device used? Or is there
some other functionality that explains the use of that term?Often,
prospective clients ask about this so just wanted to be sure we'd be
giving them the right explanation. Thanks.
I understand that authorization is supported using CUG i.e. users may or
may not have access to a page based on his group. But is there an
authorization mechanism for elements within a page?i.e. if we want a
component to be shown only to certain groups of users or even sections
within components to be shown / hidden depending on the logged in user.
Is this possible on a publish instance?Thanks.
Hello, Is there a way to use different set of styling (css classes) info
for different domains in the same AEM instance? For e.g. there maybe two
root nodes for the 2 domains with the same page structure and the same
set of components / templates being used in both places. Only thing that
would need to differ is the styling or css classes. Is this possible
short of using two different code bases and instances? If yes, any other
way of doing it rather than having two root nodes with duplicate pag...
Hello, Does LiveCycle or Forms JEE have any analytics support? In the
sense that, is it possible to embed analytics tags in the xfa / pdf
forms while designing them in the Designer? Or is it not a valid use
case?Thanks.
Thanks Ashok.Is there a case where AEM way of URL management is
preferred over doing it in Apache. It looks like AEM converts all page
URLs to its shortened form in the generated HTML. Would that be a valid
advantage here over apache?
Hello, For URL rewrites, vanity URLs, etc.. what would be pros and cons
of doing it the 'AEM way' (etc/maps, resource resolver) vs doing it the
traditional way of setting the rules in apache mod_rewrites?Neither one
seems author-friendly so what would underly choosing one over the other?
In fact, in case of AEM, at least the first request for a page should go
all the way to the instance for the URL conversion (subsequent requests
will be fetched from the cache I'm guessing) whereas in case of ap...
Hello, is there an API which returns the structure of a process created
using workbench? By that I mean, all the steps that makes up the process
(review step, invoke WS step, generate PDF, etc), activities or
operations that form each of the steps and the rules governing flow of
the process. I looked through the API docs but much of it seems to be
centered around invoking a process rather than getting meta info on
it:Adobe LiveCycle * Programming with Adobe LiveCycle ES3Any inputs here
will grea...
Hello,when adding or replacing an existing AEM author / publish
instance, what would be the best way to update them with all project
related code and content? Is there an automated way to do this (osgi
config?) or is it only possible via manual replication or packaging of
code / content? By "code" I mean both component related scripts and osgi
bundles.Thank you.
I understand one of the main features of AEM forms is to be able to
easily reuse xfa / pdf forms and also being able to render them in html5
so that it can be responsive. Also, it allows very seamless uploading of
xfa forms created in other systems (like Lifecycle)But, does it make
sense to use forms for a standard web based form. By that I mean
something like a login / registration form or a check out based form or
something similar to these. There does seem to be many out of the box
fields but...
Thanks a lot ksuren. On the first 2 points, would you be able to
elaborate on the features / functions that may be missing from AEM eComm
but may be required by enterprise level apps? That'll really help make
the limitations more clear.Thanks again.
Does it make sense to have AEM as the sole system for ecommerce related
features on the site (catalog, shopping cart, etc.)?It seems in most of
the projects, there's an ecomm platform like atg or hybris and AEM just
sites in front of it and communicates with these platforms either by
services or by the integration framework. But since AEM does offer ecomm
features like catalog, checkout, payment, etc. does it make sense to not
use any separate ecomm platform and just have AEM take care of all th...
Hey Jorg," I would rather create a dedicated index on ths subtree with
the uniqueness property" - what would this involve? Creating the
oak:QueryIndexDefinition node directly under the page tree i.e.
/content/abc/reports rather than under oak:index?
Thank you all for the replies.The main benefit of the 'AEM way of doing
analytics' that I can glean from your posts is that mapping of SC vars
(s.prop, evar, etc.) to page data can be done in the framework UI and
doesn't have to be done in the code itself (like s.prop =
<%=request.get..%>). Also, making these mapping changes in the UI
updates the analytics related JS in the code without any manual effort
or code change which can then be replicated unto publishers.In that
sense, would you say tha...
Hello,What would be the advantages of using SiteCatalyst by integrating
it with AEM as described in link below vis-a-vis the traditional way of
using SiteCatalyst where the main sitecatalyst javascript file reference
is included in one of the base templates and SC variables are set in
html / jsp files (e.g.
s.prop4=${someValue})?https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/administering/integrating_with_adobe_marketing_cloud/sitecatalyst.htmlOnly
benefit I can see from the linked article is that mapp...
As given in link below, the SC framework can be associated to a page
from Sidekick>Page Properties.

there a way to do this from the new Touch UI? I couldn't find any field
in Touch UI>Page properties where this could be done! Thanks.
How does searching based on tags work in AEM? Or in other words, how
does tagging pages or assets bring them them up as results of a search
operation - how is this implemented?Was playing around with the
foundation Search component and it seems searching with any tag (even
container tags) forming part of the tagId would return pages associated
with that tagID as a search result.For e.g. if a page is tagged with
tagID /etc/tags/tagNamespace/tagA/tabB/tagC, then doing a search with
either 'tagA', ...
Thanks so much for the links Donald / Kautuk.I used MBeanServer and was
able to get a reference to one of the MBeans.But when I try it with
"org.apache.jackrabbit.oak:type=CompactionStrategy" to set some of the
flags related to online compaction, it returns back a null object. I can
see this MBean in the jmx console.Any ideas on why this may be
happening?Thanks again.
Is there a way to set properties of a JMX MBean in a bundle activator? I
know this can be done through curl .. but was looking for inputs on how
the same can be achieved in Java. Thanks.
Is it possible to programmatically (using JCR API -
node.setProperty("cq:tags", ..) ) set a non existent TagID (i.e. it's
not found under etc/tags) on a Page node?This seems to work on the
author instance but not publish. Want to make sure this is something AEM
comes with built in and is not custom built or version dependent.
Hi you all, I want to be able to read the checked / unchecked status of
the leaf nodes and also change their checked status when the dialog is
opened up or before the root / folder is expanded. I have unable to do
this so far. Please see the code I'm using below. The relevant section
is in the beforeexpandnode listener. new CQ.Ext.tree.TreePanel({
