Is the Flex application a stand-alone application or do you plan to use in Workspace ES2?

Flex applications for use in Workspace ES must use the Workspace API to communicate with the Workspace framework.

See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/createflexapps.pdf

Thanks Steve!

I am using Life Cycle Workbench ES2 Version 9.0

Life Cycle Workspace ES2 and Life Cycle Workbench ES2 are both same?

No.

Workbench ES2 is a developer tool for creating processes, data models, forms, and Guides.

Workspace ES2 is the Flex-based client front-end to LiveCycle Process Management that supports PDF forms, Flex applications, and Guides as a view to human-centric processes.

Hi Steve,

So, from the above information by using Live Cycle Workbench ES2 we can't generate PDF file and XML for the Flex application( Form that, I have created in MXML)

Am I correct?

Ratna

You are correct, if you interpret the word 'generate' as meaning the ability to create an XFA-based form from Flex source code (.mxml or .as). LiveCycle has never supported this capability.

Thank You Steve! Your information is so valuable.

Hi Steve,

I have gone through the PDF link that you have send me. It says, how to configure the Live Cycle Workspace ES2 with Flex application and to store data in XML.

I want to generate PDF using Live Cycle workspace ES2 with Flex application ( I have created form using MXML, I need to generate PDF of the data in form when, I click on submit button in the form). Can, I get help on this.

You must create a form with LiveCycle Designer ES2 (saved as either an .xdp or a .pdf), import the form into the repository, and merge the XML from the Flex application with the imported form using the Forms ES RenderPDFForm service to render a populated PDF.
