Welcome
to the Help for the Adobe LiveCycle ES4 XDC Editor 10. Use the XDC
Editor to create and modify XML Forms Architecture Device Configuration
(XDC) files.
XDC files
describe the capabilities of printers, such as the printer language,
the printer fonts, and the mapping between Adobe LiveCycle ES4 Designer
11 paper size and input tray locations.
The Adobe
LiveCycle ES4 - Output 11 installation includes a set of generic
printer XDC files for supported print languages, and several sample
XDC files that describe the standard configurations of some common
printers and label printers. Using these XDC files as your starting
point, you can create new XDC files that represent the capabilities
of the printers that you want to use. The XDC Editor guides you
through that process.
About this HelpThis Help includes conceptual and procedural information
that you require to use XDC Editor. Use this Help to learn about
the following aspects of XDC Editor:
Who should read this Help?This Help
is intended for network printer administrators who are responsible
for updating their XDC files to accurately describe the settings
and capabilities of the network printers available to the Output
server. In some LiveCycle server installations, the network printer
administrator may be a process designer with special knowledge of
the network printers used by the Output server.
Here are some of the situations in which the network printer
administrator is required to create or modify XDC files:
When adding a new printer model for use with an existing
application that relies on printer features
When creating or updating an application that requires access
to specific printer features, such as mapping a new paper type to
an input tray
When adding new fonts that match those that reside in the
target printers
When setting up sequences for printer-based document copy
and staple
When setting up different specialized printers such as label
printers
It is important to remember that basic print applications
can be developed without customizing an XDC file for the target
printers. The generic XDC file provided with the installation may
suffice if the following criteria are met:
Printed content uses embedded or common printer fonts such
as Arial
Document must be single-sided
Document must be printed on default available input trays,
such as A4, letter, or legal
