Invalid XML: ... encoding specified in XML declaration is incorrect - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,I need to import a XML file into a PDF. This works as long as the encoding of the XML file is UTF-8. However, the files I need to import have an encoding UTF-16. When trying to import I get an error:Invalid XML: Xml parsing error: encoding specified in XML declaration is incorrect (error code 19)It is almost impossible to have the xml-file changed, so is there a way to import a UTF-16 encoded file?Thanks in advance!Erik

Determine and change path of opened PDF - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,is it possible to determine the path from where the PDF is opened? And if so, can the default path be changed?This is what is going to happen:The server will create a rondom named folder and puts a copy of a PDF file there. There will also be an external XML file in the same folder containing data.The user is going to open the pdf. Once opened, the external XML-file with data needs to be imported. This will be done by a button on the form, that opens a 'browse'-screen.As the user does not kno...

Re: Installation of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,that's exactly what I wanted, but I was unable to find any trial software for this subject. So, when I contacted Adobe, they kind of 'ordered' me to buy the software because what I was doing was not according to the license of Adobe LiveCycle Designer.But perhaps someone else has found the trialsoftware. If so, please let us know .

Re: Installation of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Paul,thanks for your reply! That's exactly why I need the Reader Extensions. This is what I need:I have created about 20 forms that up to 100 people can fill in and save. There is some data available in an external XML file. It would save the users a lot of time, when the data from the external XML file is imported in the PDF. However, the users only have the Reader, and I was told by Adobe the only the Reader Extentions would make this possible.Erik

Installation of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,Adobe has informed us that we need to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 in stead of Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. We had some doubts about the reason why, but that's a different issue.Now, when we want to order Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2 we need to indicate on what application server we will install (IBM WebSphere / Oracle WebLogic / JBoss). However, I want to install it on a desktop pc. Can anybody explain me which of the 3 options I need to order? What is the differenc...

Hi Niall,thanks very much for your answer. You confirmed what I was not hoping for ;-(Do you know what it takes to set the required extentions into our pdf''s? It is just a software module that we buy? Is it something like 'Extent features in Adobe Reader' from the Adobe Acrobat?Any idea what the costs are for the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2?Thanks,Erik

Re: Import XML data at load of PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Srini,thanks again for this great help! Certifying seems to be no option for us. So, I am working on the browse option. In addition to that I wonder if it is possible to set the default folder before showing the browse-screen.So, when the user clicks the button, the screen that pops up should be already be browsing in the same folder as the PDF is located. This would make it very easy for a user to select the XML-file.Please advise in this. Thanks again!Regards,Erik
