The data items that RenderOptionsSpec-FormsService variables contain.
acrobatVersion
An AcrobatVersion value
that represents the PDF version required for a client.
cacheEnabled
A boolean value
that indicates whether the Forms service caches a PDF form to improve
performance. When caching is used, each form is cached after it
is generated for the first time. On a subsequent render, if the
cached form is newer than the form design’s timestamp, the form
is retrieved from the cache. A value of true indicates
that the form is cached and false indicates it
is not cached.
CB
A boolean value
that determines whether the generation of HTML-template initiating
content, or guided forms content. True indicates
to generate the HTML-template initiating content and False indicates
to generate guided forms content.
clientCache
A boolean value
that determines whether the form is cached in the client web browser
cache. Only forms that are rendered as interactive PDF forms can
be stored in the client web browser cache.
When client caching
is used and subsequent requests for the PDF form are made, a timestamp
located in the cached PDF form is compared with the timestamp of the
PDF form that is generated by the Forms service and stored in the
server cache. If the timestamps are the same, the PDF form is retrieved
from the client cache. Retrieving PDF forms from the client cache
results in reduced bandwidth usage and improves performance because
the Forms service does not have to redeliver the same content to
the client web browser.
A value of true indicates
that client caching is used and false indicates
client caching is not used.
clientFrame
A string value
that represents the client frame to use for HTML transformations.
This value is not applicable for PDF forms.
debugEnabled
A boolean value
that determines whether debug-level logging is performed. Debug-level
logging provides more information in the J2EE application server's log
file. A value of true indicates that debug-level
logging is performed, and false indicates that
the default level of logging is performed.

- XDP format but without an embedded PDF or XFA template packet.
- XMLData:
- Returns the data without XDP or xfa:datasets packaging.
- Auto:
- Automatically determines the format based on the submitted
data:
If XDP data is submitted, then XFA data is returned.
If XML data is submitted, then XML data is returned.
If URL-encoded data is submitted, then XMLdata is returned.
fontMapURI

A string value
that represents the URL for a custom override implementation of
the callback servlet.
guideName
A string value
that represents the name of the guide within the generated form
guide.
guidePDF
A boolean value
that determines whether the output is rendered in the form guide
and PDF form. A value of true indicates that both
the form guide and PDF form are rendered and false indicates
that only the form guide is rendered.
guideRSL
A boolean value
that determines whether to use run-time shared libraries when compiling
a form guide. A value of true indicates that shared
libraries are used and false indicates they are
not used.
guideStyle
A string value
that represents the name of the style sheet that the form guide uses.
The style sheet is also embedded in the form guide. The application container
contains the style sheet, or the style sheet can be referenced.

hidden panels. A value of true indicates that all
data is submitted and false indicates that all
data is submitted except for data from hidden panels.
ifModifiedSince
For
internal use only.
imageURL
A string value
that represents the URL that receives image requests from the target
device. This URL is inserted into the transformed output to facilitate retrieval
of embedded images, such as images embedded within an XDP form.
This
value is required only when authentication is required to retrieve
the images.
If the value is not an absolute URL, the value
of ApplicationWebRoot is combined with this value to construct an
absolute URL. (See URLSpec.)
injectFormBridge
A boolean value
that indicates whether the Forms service inserts special JavaScript
code into a PDF form. The code performs operations on a PDF form
when rendering guided forms. A value of true indicates
the Forms service inserts the JavaScript code and false indicates
it does not.
internalOptionMap
A map of string values
that is for internal use only.
linearizedPDF
A boolean value
that indicates whether the Forms service produces a linearized PDF
form (optimized for web applications). A linearized PDF document
is organized to enable incremental access in a network environment.
For example, a linearized PDF document can be displayed in a web
browser before the entire PDF document is downloaded.
A value
of true indicates the PDF form is linearized and false indicates
it is not linearized.
options
A string value
that represents the options that are set.
outputType
An int value
that specifies how a form that is rendered as HTML is displayed. These
values are valid:
- 0:
- The form is rendered within <HTML> elements.
- 1:
- The form is rendered within <body> elements.
pageNumber
An int value
that represents the initial page number to render in a multipage HTML
form. This option is not applicable to PDF forms.
PDF2XDP
A boolean value
that determines whether the Forms service produces XDP output from
submitted PDF content. By default, the Forms service returns the PDF
content that is submitted.
If XDP output is produced, it
contains the following elements:
A PDF data (base64-encoded).
A datasets packet that contains form data if the PDF content
is XFA-based.
An XFDF packet that stores annotations. If the PDF content
is an Acrobat PDF form, the XFDF also contains elements that represent
form fields.
PDFVersion
A string value
that represents the PDF version of the PDF form that is rendered. These
string values are valid:
- PDFVersion_1_5:
- Represents PDF version 1.5.
- PDFVersion_1_6:
- Represents PDF version 1.6.

that represents the name and location of the PDF document to use
as the shell PDF (seedPDF) document.
A shell PDF contains
only an XFA stream, font and image resources, and one page that
is either blank or contains a warning that the document must be
opened using Acrobat 7 or later or Adobe Reader 7. The shell PDF
is used with PDF transformation to optimize delivery of PDFForm
transformations only.
serviceId
A string value
that is for internal use only.
standAlone
A boolean value
that specifies whether the form is rendered without state information.
This value is useful when the rendering of an interactive form occurs on
the server instead of on the client, and the form contains JavaScript
code that is executed.
A value of true indicates
that the code that the form contains runs on the client with no
interaction with the server. A value of false indicates
that state information is used to render an interactive form to

allow page content (text, graphics, and images) to be extracted
and reused for other purposes. It is intended for use by tools that perform
the following types of operations:
Simple extraction
of text and graphics for pasting into other applications.
Automatic reflow of text and associated graphics to fit a
page of a different size than was assumed for the original layout.
Processing text for such purposes as searching, indexing,
and spell-checking.
Conversion to other common file formats (such as HTML, XML,
and RTF) with document structure and basic styling information preserved.
Making content accessible by screen reader software.

1.4.
toolbarMenu
A HTMLToolbar value
that represents the appearance of an HTML toolbar that is rendered
with an HTML form.
validationBorder
A string value
that represents the validation border size, in pixels, when using frames
in an HTML form.
validationReporting
An int value
that represents the position within the frame where validation reporting
is displayed if the ValidationUI option is 0 (list). This value
specifies whether the list appears within a frame, and the location
of the list relative to the form. This property is valid for forms
that are rendered as HTML. These values are valid:
- 0:
- The error is specified on the left of the form in a separate
frame.
- 1:
- The error is specified on the right of the form in a separate
frame.
- 2:
- The error is specified at the top of the form in a separate
frame.
- 3:
- The error is specified at the bottom of the form in a separate
frame.
- 4:
- The error is specified on the left of the page without a
frame.
- 5:
- The error is specified on the right of the page without a
frame.
- 6:
- The error is specified at the top of the page without a frame.
- 7:
- The error is specified at the bottom of the page without
a frame.
- 8:
- No error reporting is provided.
- 9:
- The error is logged but is not provided to the user interface.
- 10:
- The error is not displayed if a form is within the frame.
validationUI
An int value
that represents how errors are displayed. These values are valid:
- 0:
- list
- 1:
- message box
XCI
(Optional)
A string value
that represents XCI run-time options that are executed for renderForm
and processFormSubmission operation operations.
These XCI options override configuration values that are located
within the XCI configuration file that the Forms service uses. The
value has the following format:
[XPath-expression]=[value];[XPath-expression]=[value];...
[path-expression] is an XPath expression
that resolves to the element in the XCI file to update. The XPath
expression is relative to the root element of the XCI file. Only
simple XPath expressions that contain "/" and "@" characters are
supported.
[value] is the value to assign to the path
expression. If the value is omitted, the element is cleared.
The
following example changes the default typeface to Myriad® Pro:
present/pdf/fontInfo/defaultTypeface=MyriadPro
Setting
XCI options can affect the resulting PDF form. For example, consider
the following XCI options:
present/pdf/fontInfo/embed=1&PDFVersion=1.6
present/pdf/fontInfo/embed=1
The size of the resulting
files is different. When you set the PDF version to 1.6 the Forms
service embeds the fonts as a subset. When you do not set the PDF
version, the Forms service fully embeds the font. The PDF that contains
the fully embedded font is at least twice as large as the file that
has the fonts embedded as subset. Specify the PDF version to embed
the font as a subset.
The following XCI elements can be configured:
acrobat/acrobat7/dynamicRender
data/outputXSL/uri (child of outputXSL element)
data/range
data/record
data/startNode
data/xsl/debug/uri (child of debug element; descendant of

A string value
that represents the URI location of the XCI file to use for rendering.
If the root is not specified, the file is assumed to reside in the
EAR file.
XDCURI
A string value
that represents the URI location of an alternative XDC file to use for
rendering. This property can be set to a valid URI, an absolute
URI with protocols, or a file location. An alternative XDC file
is typically used when the Forms service cannot locate an XDC file.
For example, there is a network issue.
