LiveCycle - Simple Stupid PDF Generator Watch Folder Configuration
1) Create a folder in your filesystem
2) Login to the LiveCycle Admin Console (http://servername:portnumber/adminui/)
3) Navigate to Services > Archive Administration > Service Management
4) Click on 'ConvertAllFileTypesToPDF: 1.0 '
5) In the 'End Points' tab, choose 'WatchedFolder' from the dropdownlist
6) Click 'Add'
7) For 'Description', type in "Watch Folder Endpoint"
8) In 'Enter path for the watched folder', type in the fully qualified path to the folder you created in step 1
9) In the 'Operation name' dropdownlist, choose 'invoke'
10) In the 'Input Parameter Mappings' section, for the 'inputDocument' field, type *.*
11) In the 'Output Parameter Mappings' section, for the 'Output PDF Document' field, type %F.%E.pdf
12) Click the 'Update' button to save the changes.
13) Test by copying a Word document to the /input/ folder under the folder you created in step 1. It should disappear a few seconds later
14) Watch Windows Task Manager for a CPU usage spike
15) When the spike is over, check the folder /result/ under the folder you created in step 1. You will have to drill down three more folders (for year, month and day).
Comments
This is simple example, but useful! I would appreciate if you could also describe in the same way the email endpoint for creating PDF and returning it to the sender! ;-)
