HiIt sounds to me like one of the instances of Forms executable is dying due to invalid font, and is then failing for subsequent renders. The reason that it's intermittent may be that you have multiple instances of the Forms executable, and one of them has failed, and the other(s) are okay.One thing...

Thanks MarkSo a component to simply test the validity (well-formedness) of an arbitrary XML document would be helpful?This would save you having to write the file to the file system, and read it back again.By the way, do be careful with writing to a file and reading back. This may work doing one off...

This may be a dumb question, but if all you're doing is writing the XML document to the file system, then why are you bothering to map it to an XML variable at all. Just leave it as a Document variable, and write the document to the file system.???Howardhttp://www.avoka.com

Is it possible that it's failing when it tries to render a particular form that has a certain font in it?Howard

Have you tried shutting down the machine and restarting?LiveCycle uses a set of external executables (XMLFormService.exe). It may be that one of them has become "hung" in some way.Howardhttp://www.avoka.com

Did you ever resolve this?Howard

We have a component you can try here:http://avoka.dnsalias.com/confluence/display/Public/Variable+UtilitiesHoward

YOu need to use a regular Submit button, instead of an Email Submit button.Then make the url "mailto:xxx@yyy.com"Howardhttp://www.avoka.com

Why not just set the tooltip field (on the Object/accessibility tab). This will automatically pop up the tooltip when you hover over the field.Howardhttp://www.avoka.com

We have a pair of operations that will append and remove the XPD "envelope" elements from an XML file, inside an orchestration. These may help...Check out http://avoka.dnsalias.com/confluence/display/Public/XML+Utilities+DSCHowardhttp://www.avoka.com
