Render PDF Form

invoke operation

Renders a form created in Designer to a PDF form that is usable within Workspace. You can use this service in a process map or to configure the render service, which is a preprocessing step for an xfaForm variable.

It is not recommended that you modify this service directly because it is possible to do so by using Workbench. It is recommended that you make a copy of the service, modify it, and then use your copy as a preprocessing step for an xfaForm variable. For example, you may want to modify this service to use certified signatures with Workspace.

Important: Upgrading to LiveCycle leaves the Render PDF Form service unchanged. If you want to change your previous render service, then you need to import that service.

invoke operation

Sets the necessary parameters for retrieving the form, specifies the location of the PDF form, enables the form for offline and online use with Workspace, and invokes the renderPDFForm operation operation.
