Quick Start: Importing form data using the web service API

The following C# code example imports data into a PDF form. The data is located in an XML file named XDPData.xml and the PDF form is saved as ResultLoanForm.pdf. (See Importing Form Data.)

/*

 * Ensure that you create a .NET client assembly that uses 

 * base64 encoding. This is required to populate a BLOB 

 * object with data or retrieve data from a BLOB object.

 * 

 * For information, see "Invoking LiveCycle ES using Base64 Encoding" 

 * in Programming with LiveCycle ES
