Introducing Document Description XML

To specify documents that you want the Assembler service to produce, you use an XML-based language called Document Description XML (DDX). DDX is a declarative markup language whose elements represent building blocks of documents. These building blocks include PDF pages and other elements such as comments, bookmarks, and styled text. The DDX document can be considered a template for the document(s) that you want the Assembler service to produce.

When using the Assembler service, you provide DDX documents that describe the output you want. In addition to PDF documents, DDX can describe output formats that represent data extracted from PDF documents (such as comments, text, form data, file attachments, and bookmarks) or provide information about the properties of a PDF document.

Note: To see new DDX elements that were added to LiveCycle ES, see New DDX Elements.

Note: The Assembler service is an implementation of a DDX processor.
