Exporting form data using the web service API

To export form data using the web service API, perform the following tasks:

1.	Include project files

•	Create a Microsoft .NET client assembly that consumes the Form Data Integration service WSDL. For information, see Creating a .NET client assembly.

•	Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly. For information, see Referencing the .NET client assembly.

2.	Create a Form Data Integration service client

Using the Microsoft .NET client assembly, create a FormDataIntegrationService object by invoking its default constructor.

3.	Reference a PDF form

•	Create a BLOB object by using its constructor. This BLOB object is used to store the PDF form from which data is exported.

•	Create a System.IO.FileStream object by invoking its constructor and passing a string value that specifies the location of the PDF form and the mode in which to open the file.

•	Create a byte array that stores the content of the System.IO.FileStream object. You can determine the size of the byte array by getting the System.IO.FileStream object’s Length property.

•	Populate the byte array with stream data by invoking the System.IO.FileStream object’s Read method and passing the byte array, the starting position, and the stream length to read.

•	Populate the BLOB object by assigning its binaryData property with the contents of the byte array.

4.	Export data from the PDF form

Import data into PDF form by invoking the FormDataIntegrationClient object’s exportData method and pass the BLOB object that stores the PDF form. This method returns a BLOB object that stores form data as an XML schema.

5.	Save the form data as an XML file

•	Create a System.IO.FileStream object by invoking its constructor and passing a string value that represents the location of the XML file.

•	Create a byte array that stores the data content of the BLOB object that was returned by the exportData method. Populate the byte array by getting the value of the BLOB object’s binaryData data member.

•	Create a System.IO.BinaryWriter object by invoking its constructor and passing the System.IO.FileStream object.

•	Write the contents of the byte array to a XML file by invoking the System.IO.BinaryWriter object’s Write method and passing the byte array.
