Create a PDF document by invoking the AEM Forms Output Service

You can use the AEM Forms Output service to create a PDF document that is based on a form design (an XDP file created in Designer) and XML form data that you provide. The PDF document that is created by the Output service is not an interactive PDF document. That is, a user cannot enter or modify form data.

The following illustrations shows the PDF that is created in this article.

The Output service lets you output documents as PDF (including PDF/A documents), PostScript, Printer Control Language (PCL), and the following label formats:
  • Zebra - ZPL
  • Intermec - IPL
  • Datamax - DPL
  • TecToshiba - TPCL
Using the Output service, you can merge XML form data with a form design and output the document to a network printer or file.
