Hi Leonard - LiveCycle ES would indeed do the job, but to buy such a rich and sophisticated system for this simple task would be very costly overkill. We use the .xdp format in our own products, and utilize Designer as the form design tool. But we don't currently license the entire LiveCycle ES product. -Roy

That's one of the many thing it offers you as a server-based solution. Leonard From: Feague, Roy [mailto:rfea...@nextgen.com]<mailto:[mailto:rfea...@nextgen.com]> Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 3:06 PM To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [iText-questions] Converting XDP to PDF We'd like to find a way to automate creation of PDF files from Adobe LiveCycle Designer XDP files --- basically, effectively the same as opening the file in Designer and doing a Save As... Adobe Static PDF form. I understand that XDP files can be structured in a couple of different ways. Ours are XML files will full layout info, not just a wrapper around an embedded PDF or PDF reference. Below is a bit of what they look like. I've seen conflicting information about whether iText can do this. Can anybody give me a high-confidence answer? Thanks very much for your time.
