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.

Overlaying the Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 Parsys component to display custom text

Adobe Experience Manager has long used the principle of overlays to allow you to extend and customize components. Overlay is a term that can be used in many contexts. In this context, an overlay means taking the predefined functionality and modifying it to meet your business requirements.

Default Experience Manager components are stored under /libs and it is recommended practice to define your overlay under the /apps JCR branch. AEM uses a search path to find a resource, searching first the /apps branch and then the /libs branch (the search path can be configured). This mechanism means that your overlay (and the customizations defined there) will have priority.

To demonstrate how to overlay an Experience Manager component, this article modifies the out of the box parsys component (wcm/foundation/components/parsys) by modifying the text the appears, as shown in the following illustration.

Creating a HTL Repeating Data Set 6.4 Component that uses Sling Models

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 HTL component that displays repeating information that can be set by an AEM author during design time. For example, consider a typical on-line section of a sports site.

Using Experience Manager, you can create a similiar component using HTL and Sling Models. Each section of the HTL component can include:

• a digital asset (located in the Experience Manager DAM)
• a heading
• text

The following video shows an Experience Manager HTL component listing various sport stories about a youth football club.

To read this article - click -- https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/aem64_htl_repeat_slingmodel.html

NOTE - Like we do in these HELXP articles - when porting your components/code to a new AEM version - its best practice to re-build your AEM OSGi bundles with the latest AEM Maven Archetype. Do not try and deploy a bundle built on AEM 6.2 (for example) onto 6.4. It typically will not work!

Downloading Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 DAM Assets using the Query Builder API

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager 6.4 Sling Servlet that uses the Query Builder API to search the Digital Asset Manager (DAM) and return a collection of assets within a ZIP file. The client web browser downloads the ZIP file that contains the DAM assets.

You can create a Sling Servlet that performs these tasks:

• Uses the QueryBuilder API to search a specific DAM folder
• Retrieves assets (for example, PNG files)
• Places the assets in a ZIP file
• Returns the ZIP file

The following illustration shows the use case described in this development article.
