Download XPAAJ without AEDP membership
I'm happy to announce that today we've opened up access to the XPAAJ (XML PDF Access APIs for Java) library. You no longer need to be a member of the Adobe Enterprise Developer Program to download XPAAJ. You can download XPAAJ simply by creating an Adobe ID, which you already have if you've downloaded something from Adobe.
XPAAJ allows you to pre-populate and extract form data from Adobe PDF forms (created with LiveCycle Designer), using Java code. The XPAAJ download includes a getting started guide and a developer guide to help you build out Java applications.
A few things to note in the license for XPAAJ: (see section 2. LICENSE in the software license agreement):
- You can use the software if you own a copy of Adobe Enterprise software (defined as commercially available versions of Adobe software branded as LiveCycle, ColdFusion or Flex), and you may only use it for your own internal business purpose. OR
- You can use the software to develop programs to extract data from PDF files delivered to you from a licensed copy of LiveCycle Forms or Reader Extensions.
Ben Forta should have some good news for ColdFusion developers in the near future.

Same error here ...
See http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/7/27/cf_pdfform for details of how to use this with ColdFusion.

This is great! The only downside is not being able to encrypt a document once its manipulated. I hope this is coming in Scorpio.
Hey, i'm trying to automate PDF form filling using the XPAAJ SDK, been having a few problems with that. Could i get some help from you?
[Support for XPAAJ is available either in the LiveCycle forums (free) or via the Adobe Enterprise Developer Program ($1495 / year).
You can get to the forums at http://www.adobeforums.com and you can find more about the AEDP via http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/developer/detail_edp.html - Mike]
a licence question: if I have an Acrobat 8 Prof. (containts Livecycle Designer) then I can use XPAAJ for developing PDF form handler?

a licence question: Can I use XPAAJ whenI have an Acrobat 8 Prof. licence? Acrobat 8 Prof. containts Livecycle Designer, it's a "Adobe software branded as LiveCycle".
Thanks,
