Quick Start (MTOM): Passing documents to the Output Service using the web service API

The following C# quick start retrieves the file Loan.xdp from Content Services. This XDP file is located in the space /Company Home/Form Designs. The XDP file is returned in a BLOB instance. The BLOB instance is passed to the Output service. The non-interactive form is saved as a PDF file named Loan.pdf on the client computer. Because the File URI option is set, the PDF file Loan.pdf is also saved on the J2EE application server hosting LiveCycle. (See Passing Documents located in Content Services (deprecated) to the Output Service.)
