Initiate Workspace with form and attachment - get handle to attachment

[Mark_Lindberg]

Greetings All:

I am missing a puzzle piece here.

I need to begin a process in workbench with a user filling a form, and adding an attachment.

The user will fill in a PDF form, and using the attachment tab, attach a file to the form/task.

I have the PDF set up as an "Input" xfaForm variable.

The process launches the form, user can fill in, attach file and submit.

The problem I am having is that I cannot get a handle to the Attachment in the process until the form is passed to the next user via an Assign Task.

It is my desire to extract data from the attachment, and reformat that attachment prior to the next user interaction.

Can anyone assist me in obtaining a handle to the attachment?

Thank You

Mark

This is a lot easier with the latest version of LiveCycle (ES2).

Jasmin:

Thanks for the tip - now I need to know how to get the Task ID from inside the process.

Can you assist me on this?

Thanks Again

One way to do this is by using the Render Service.

The TaskId variable of your render service will hold this data. Merge this data in the form and later you can access the TaskId by regular XPATH.

Any other predominant methods are greatly appreciated.
