Mapping the XML Schema to the PDF Form Using Adobe Designer

Administrators can map the Siebel data schema to an Adobe PDF template using the drag-and-drop functionality provided with Adobe Designer software. For more information about using Adobe Designer 6.0, see the documentation provided with the Adobe application.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Adobe Forms Integration.

To map the schema to the PDF form

1. Launch Adobe Designer, and select the PDF file.

   For example, launch Adobe Designer with a PDF file named Contact.pdf.

2. From the application-level menu, choose File > New Data Connection.
3. From the new Data Connection dialog box, select the XML Schema option and click Next.
4. From the next dialog box:
   1. In the Select XML Schema field, browse for and open the XML schema file.

      For example, open Contacts_schema.xml.

   2. Select the Embed XML Schema option.
   3. Click Finish.
5. Click the Data View tab and expand the node.

   For example, expand the Contact node. You should see the schema columns under Contact, including child components, which may be selected during mapping.

6. In the PDF form, select the target field.
7. Drag the Siebel data column from the Data View, and drop it on the placeholder field in the PDF file.

   For example, drag and drop Last Name, First Name, Cellular Phone, Home Phone, and so on.

8. Save the file.

   NOTE:  The PDF file with the mapped schema must be saved to the network location where it can be accessed by the Siebel application at run time.
