Quick Start (MTOM): Assembling PDF Portfolios using the web service API

The following C# code example creates a PDF portfolio. The PDF portfolio is saved as a PDF file named AssemblerResultPortfolio.pdf. (See Assembling PDF Portfolios.)

???/** 
    * Ensure that you create a .NET project that uses  
    * MS Visual Studio 2008 and version 3.5 of the .NET 
    * framework. This is required to invoke a  
    * LiveCycle service using MTOM. 
    *      
    * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle using MTOM" in Programming with LiveCycle 
    *  
    *  This is the DDX file is used to create a PDF portfolio: 
    * <DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/"> 
    *    <PDF result="portfolio1.pdf"> 
    *        <Portfolio>   
    *            <Navigator source="myNavigator">   
    *                <Resource name="navigator/image.xxx" source="myImage.png"/> 
    *            </Navigator> 
    *        </Portfolio> 
    *        <PackageFiles source="dog1"  > 
    *             <FieldData name="X">72</FieldData> 
    *            <FieldData name="Y">72</FieldData> 
    *            <File filename="saint_bernard.jpg" mimetype="image/jpeg"/> 
    *        </PackageFiles> 
    *        <PackageFiles source="dog2"  > 
    *            <FieldData name="X">120</FieldData> 
    *            <FieldData name="Y">216</FieldData> 
    *            <File filename="greyhound.pdf"/> 
    *        </PackageFiles>     
    *    </PDF>
