Adobe XPAAJ SDK updated to include ColdFusion samples
Great news for all you ColdFusion developers. We have added ColdFusion samples to the XPAAJ SDK. The work was done by Sterling Ledet, who runs a Adobe training centers across the United States. Check out his company's site if you're interested in hands-on training for Adobe products, including historical Macromedia products.
What's XPAAJ? From the developer center page, "its a Java API that helps Java
developers to build applications that work with PDF documents and
forms. It can extract data from a PDF file programmatically and combine
XML data with blank PDF forms. You can incorporate XPAAJ into
standalone Java applications or deploy it into either a Web container
or an application server container." We need to add the ColdFusion connection in there now.
Here's the updated .zip file that includes the CFM samples and here's the developer center page that outlines what's included in the .zip file.
Ben Forta has done some preliminary work with XPAAJ as well, you should check out his blog entry on XPAAJ here.
Duane Nickull has XPAAJ working on a MacBook Pro, if you're interested in running XPAAJ on an Intel Mac.
Be aware that in order to use XPAAJ, you need to have an enterprise license of ColdFusion, Flex Data Services or Adobe LiveCycle. Be sure to read the EULA before downloading the software.

Comments
Per Ben Forta's blog a license of ColdFusion is required but Standard Edition should be enough not Enterprise Edition.
