Before you begin

Before you create or modify XDC files, obtain sample and template XDC files to use as your starting point. You should also have your printer’s reference manual.

Copying sample and template XDC files to your local hard drive

When creating or modifying an XDC file, use an existing XDC file as a starting point. That is, you cannot create an XDC file from scratch. If you are just getting started with XDC Editor, use the XDC files installed with the AEM forms server SDK.

  1. Run the BAT file, which is part of configuring the Samples. The runSamplesConfig.bat file is located in this directory:

    [dep root] \Workbench\sdk\samples\SamplesConfig\bin

  2. Find the XDC samples located in this Workbench directory:

    [dep root] \ Workbench\sdk\samples\Output\IVS\XDC

For more information about the BAT file and running it to configure the samples, see the Readme file in the [dep root] \Workbench\sdk\samples\SamplesConfig directory.
