Here's more information about the solution:
-------------------------------------------------

Design time

- During design time user will open the template PDF form in Acrobat Pro (this toll supports the creation of PDF form)

- User will fill the form with test values (ensure export XML has all fields)

o The xml rendition is needed so that users can then create a mapping between the source data and pdf form fields.

- User will use Acrobat Form>Data Manger option to export the Form Data as XML

- Use this XML to create XML Schema in Adeptia

- Create a Map in Adeptia between the source and this XML schema.

Run time (Adeptia process execution)

- At run-time the output of this Mapping will be passed to Adeptia’s PDF utility which will map the actual source data into the pre-defined PDF template and create a new file.

- Adeptia’s solution supports any PDF form.
