Quick Start (MTOM): Creating a PDF document based on fragments using the web service API

The following C# web service code example creates a PDF document that is based on a form design assembled by the Assembler service. The Assembler service assembles fragments located in multiple XDP files into a single form design. Application logic that invokes the Assembler service is located in a user-defined method named GetFormDesign. The non-interactive form is saved as a PDF file named Loan.pdf on the client computer. (See Creating PDF Documents Using Fragments.)

???/** 
    * Ensure that you create a .NET project that uses  
    * MS Visual Studio 2008 and version 3.5 of the .NET 
    * framework. This is required to invoke a  
    * LiveCycle service using MTOM. 
    *      
    * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle using MTOM" in Programming with LiveCycle   
    *  
    * This is the DDX file is used to assemble multiple XDP documents: 
    * <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
    * <DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/"> 
    *    <XDP result="tuc018result.xdp"> 
    *       <XDP source="tuc018_template_flowed.xdp"> 
    *          <XDPContent insertionPoint="ddx_fragment" source="tuc018_contact.xdp" fragment="subPatientContact" required="false"/> 
    *          <XDPContent insertionPoint="ddx_fragment" source="tuc018_patient.xdp" fragment="subPatientPhysical" required="false"/> 
    *          <XDPContent insertionPoint="ddx_fragment" source="tuc018_patient.xdp" fragment="subPatientHealth" required="false"/> 
    *       </XDP> 
    *    </XDP>
