Use (Deprecated) Document Builder to preview the resultant document
that AEM forms produce when the document template is interpreted.
Before you can preview a document template, you must provide actual
instances of the source documents and assets used in the document
template. If all source documents and assets have actual instantiations,
you can view the resultant document.
Set up your system for previewing XDP results
The Preview feature uses your browser to display the result
from interpreting the DDX document. By default, browsers use Adobe
Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF and XDP file types. However,
those programs cannot open XDP files. To view an XDP result, configure
your system to use Designer to open XDP files.
On Windows systems
-
Open a folder.
-
Select Tools> File Options > File Types.
-
Select the XDP extension from the Registered File Types panel
and click Change.
-
If Designer is present in the Programs list, select it. Otherwise,
click Browse and navigate to the Designer executable installed on
your computer.
Preview the DDX result
-
In (Deprecated) Document Builder, open the DDX document to preview.
-
Ensure the DDX document is valid. (See
Validating the DDX Document
.)
-
Click Preview Result.
-
Provide each file’s location in the Select Source Files window.
(Deprecated) Document Builder lets you specify the file location by using several
conventions:
-
Single file on your computer: Select
File and click Browse Identify the location of the file.
-
Folder on your computer: Select Folder and click Browse.
Identify the location of the folder.
-
String: Select String and enter the desired value for the
string parameter.
When you use the
Folder option to supply values to a Source Match property, the files
in the folder and all the files in the subfolders are uploaded to
the Assembler service.
To ensure a reasonable
preview of the DDX result, the files you supply must contain the
properties referenced from the DDX.
-
To delete entries in the Select Source Files dialog box,
select the item (a check mark appears) and then click Delete.
-
Click OK.
-
Click Open in Browser to view the resultant document in your
browser.
-
Click Save to save the resultant document or the job log.
Here is an example that shows how to provide an input map URL
in the Preview dialog window. For the first source (
sourcePDF1
),
select the type, click the Browse button, and select the file. For
the second source (
companyStrings/watermarkString
),
select the String type and enter the string in the field. You can
use these values to preview the DDX document described in
Create a DDX document that adds a dynamic watermark
. The resultant
document bears a watermark with the styled text that the input map URL
provides.
