Create a DDX document that builds a simple XDP document

Here are the general steps for creating a DDX document that creates an XDP document that is made from other XDP documents.

  1. Specify the resultant document by selecting New Result > XDP. In the XDP Result panel, leave the default values unchanged.

  2. Drag the XDP icon from the Sources panel onto your canvas. Position the icon under the XDP result icon added in the previous step. In the XDP Result panel, leave the default values unchanged.

  3. Add two more Source XDP icons as described in the previous step.

  4. Save your work and then click Validate to validate the DDX file. (See Validating the DDX Document.)

  5. Click Preview to view an example of the resultant document. (See Previewing the Result from a DDX Document.)

  6. (Optional) Apply properties to the result and source XDP documents. (See Set PDF result and source properties.)

Here is the appearance of the canvas that these steps create. The resulting DDX document produces an XDP document that is assembled from three source XDP documents.

Here is the DDX source that these steps create.

       <XDP source="sourceXDP2"/> 
       <XDP source="sourceXDP3"/>
