This sample provides the basics for invoking the renderPDFForm method of the LiveCycle FormsService.
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.
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]
adobe-forms-client [C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\client-libs\common]
2. Restart ColdFusion Application Service
