Testing the form design

Test your form to ensure that it functions as designed before you use it in a process. You can use the sample data file provided with the tutorial assets to preview your form design as a PDF form.

Test your form design using sample data

  1. In Designer, select File > Form Properties. The Form Properties dialog box appears.

  2. In the right pane, click Preview.

  3. Beside the Data File box, click the Browse button. The Open XML File dialog box appears.

  4. Navigate to the location where you extracted the tutorial assets, such as C:\firstappAsets, select firstAppTestData.xml file, and click Open.

    A dialog box appears with this text displayed: The Selected File Is Not Part Of Any LiveCycle Application. Would You Like To Copy It And All The Files It May Reference To The Current Application?

  5. Click OK.

  6. In the Form Properties dialog box, click OK.

  7. Click the Preview PDF palette to view the form. If the Preview PDF palette is not visible, select View > Preview PDF.

    Note: If the Preview PDF palette goes to full screen mode, double-click it to return to Designer.

  8. Click the Design View tab, and select File > Save.

  9. Select File > Exit to exit Designer.

  10. In Workbench, right-click PreLoanForm in the Applications view, and select Check In. Also, check in the firstAppTestData.xml and firstAppLoanSchema.xsd files.

    Note: The file extension “xsd” does not display in the Applications view.

You have completed testing the form design with XML data and checked-in the assets into your LiveCycle application.
