TheGenerate PDF service uses native applications to convert the following file formats to PDF. Unless otherwise indicated, only the German, French, English, and Japanese versions of these applications are supported. Windows only indicates support for only Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.

Include necessary files into your development project. If you are creating a client application using Java, include the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services, ensure that you include the proxy files.

Before you can programmatically perform a Generate PDF operation, create a Generate PDF service client. If you are using the Java API, create a GeneratePdfServiceClient object. If you are using the web service API, create a GeneratePDFServiceService object.

The createPDF2 method returns a CreatePDFResult object that contains the new PDF document and a log information. The log file typically contains error or warning messages generated by the conversion request.

Create a GeneratePDFServiceClient.Endpoint.Address object by using the System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress constructor. Pass a string value that specifies the WSDL to the AEM Forms service (for example, :8080/soap/services/GeneratePDFService?blob=mtom.) You do not need to use the lc_version attribute. However, specify ?blob=mtom.

Before you can programmatically perform a Generate PDF operation, you must create a Generate PDF service client. If you are using the Java API, create a GeneratePdfServiceClient object. If you are using the web service API, create a GeneratePDFServiceService.

After you create the service client, you can invoke the appropriate PDF creation operation. This operation needs information about the document to be converted, including the path to the target document.

This section describes how you can use the Generate PDF Java API and web service API to programmatically convert a PDF document to an RTF file, which is an example of a non-image format. Other non-image formats include HTML, text, DOC, and EPS. When converting a PDF document to RTF, ensure that the PDF document does not contain form elements, such as a submit button. Form elements are not converted.

This section explains how to add support for additional native file formats. It provides an overview of the interactions between the Generate PDF service and the native applications that this service uses to convert native file formats into PDF.

The Generate PDF service converts native file formats by invoking the application associated with the file format and then interacting with the application to print the document using the default printer. The default printer must be set up as the Adobe PDF printer.

AppMon is an enterprise component that interacts with a native application in the same way a user would navigate through the dialog boxes presented by that application. The XML grammars used by AppMon to instruct an application, such as Microsoft Word, to open and print a file involve these sequential tasks:

AppMon uses standard Win32 APIs to interact with third-party applications to transfer UI events such as key-strokes and mouse clicks, which is useful to control these applications to produce PDF files from them.

Due to a limitation with these Win32 APIs, AppMon is not able to dispatch these UI events to some specific kinds of windows, such as floating menu-bars (found in some applications such as TextPad), and certain kind of dialogs whose contents cannot be retrieved using the Win32 APIs.

It is easy to visually identify a floating menu-bar; however it might not be possible to identify the special types of dialogs just by visual inspection. You would require a third-party application such as Microsoft Spy++ (part of the Microsoft Visual C++ development environment) or its equivalent WinID (that can be downloaded free of cost from =WinID) to examine a dialog to determine if AppMon would be able to interact with it using standard Win32 APIs.

Script XML files direct the Generate PDF service to navigate through application dialog boxes in the same way a user would navigate through the application dialog boxes. Script XML files also direct the Generate PDF service to respond to dialog boxes by performing actions such as pressing buttons, selecting or deselecting check boxes, or selecting menu items.

This section and the next section use different terminology for dialog boxes and the components they contain, depending on the perspective being described. Dialog box components are items such as buttons, fields, and combo boxes.

When this section and the next section describe dialog boxes and their components from the perspective of their internal representation, the term window element is used. The internal representation of window elements is a hierarchy, where each window element instance is identified by labels. The window element instance also describes its physical characteristics and behavior.

This section describes XML elements that provide AppMon with instructions. These elements have names such as the dialog element and the window element. This document uses a monospaced font to distinguish XML elements. The dialog element identifies a dialog box that an XML script file can cause to be displayed, either intentionally or unintentionally. The window element identifies a window element (dialog box or the components of a dialog box).

This diagram shows the hierarchy of script and dialog XML. A script XML file conforms to the script.xsd schema, which includes (in the XML sense) the window.xsd schema. Similarly, a dialog XML file conforms to the dialogs.xsd schema, which also includes the window.xsd schema.

A script XML file specifies a series of steps that direct the native application to navigate to certain window elements and then supply responses to those elements. Most responses are text or keystrokes that correspond to the input a user would provide to a field, combo box, or button in the corresponding dialog box.

The steps in a script XML file are executed in order, without any opportunity for branching. The only conditional test supported is for time-out/retry, which causes a script to terminate if a step does not complete successfully within a specific period of time and after a specific number of retries.

In addition to steps being sequential, the instructions within a step are also executed in order. Ensure that the steps and instructions reflect the order in which a user would perform those same steps.

Running native applications displays different dialog boxes, which appear regardless of whether the native applications are in a visible or invisible mode. The dialog boxes can be generated by the operating system or by the application itself. When native applications are running under control of the Generate PDF service, system and native application dialog boxes are displayed in an invisible window.

A dialog XML file specifies how the Generate PDF service responds to system or native application dialog boxes. The dialog XML files allow the Generate PDF service to respond to unprompted dialog boxes in a way that facilitates the conversion process.

When the system or native application displays a dialog box that is not handled by the currently executing script XML file, the Generate PDF service searches the dialog XML files in this order, stopping when it finds a match:

If the Generate PDF service finds a match for the dialog box, it dismisses it by sending it the keystroke or other action specified for the dialog box. If the instructions for the dialog box specify an abort message, the Generate PDF service terminates the currently executing job and generates an error message. Such an abort message would be specified in the abortMessage element in the script XML grammar.

The dialog and script XML files require you to identify the window element (dialog box, field, or other dialog component) to which your dialog or script element is responding. For example, after a script invokes a menu for a native application, the script must identify the window element on that menu to which keystrokes or an action are to be applied.

You can easily identify a dialog box by the caption it displays in its title bar. However, you must use a tool such as Microsoft Spy++ to identify lower-level window elements. The lower-level window elements can be identified through a variety of attributes, which are not obvious. Additionally, each native application may identify its window element differently. As a result, there are multiple ways of identifying a window element. Here is the suggested order for considering window element identification:

If the attributes fail to identify a caption, you can instead identify a window element by using its index with respect to its parent. An index specifies the position of the window element relative to its sibling window elements. Frequently, indexes are the only way to identify combo boxes.
