This sample provides the basics for invoking the transformPDF method of the LiveCycle OutputService.
This sample assumes you are using LiveCycle on Jboss. If you are using a different Java server, you will need to modify a few paramaters, but the basics are the same.
The transformPDF service transforms a interactive PDF (PDF Form) to a non-interactive PDF.
Environment Setup
1. Copy the following required jar files from your LiveCycle Installation to your {ColdFusion Install Directory}\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib.
jbossall-client.jar [C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\jboss\client]
adobe-utilities.jar [C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\client-libs\jboss]
adobe-output-client [C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\client-libs\common]
adobe-usermanager-client [C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\client-libs\common]
adobe-livecycle-client [C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\client-libs\common]
2. Restart ColdFusion Application Service

PDFARevisionNumber = CreateObject("java","com.adobe.livecycle.output.client.PDFARevisionNumber");
PDFAConformance = CreateObject("java","com.adobe.livecycle.output.client.PDFAConformance");
// Initiate The transformPDF Method
outPDF = outClient.transformPDF(inPDF,TransformationFormat.PDF,PDFARevisionNumber.Revision_1,"",PDFAConformance.A);
// If you want to use null make sure you JavaCast
//outPDF = outClient.transformPDF(inPDF,TransformationFormat.PDF,JavaCast( "null", 0 ),"",JavaCast( "null", 0 ));
// Initialize FileOutputStream with fileOutput Variable
fileOutputStream = CreateObject("java","java.io.File").init(fileOutput);
// Write The File…
outPDF.copyToFile(fileOutputStream);
