Working With The Sample Files: tsp301b1 PDF

This document provides instructions for working with sample PDF files that have been saved in XML format (XDP). It explains that saving PDFs as XDP exposes elements like form templates and data schemas in XML, and embeds the PDF itself in base-64 encoding, allowing PDFs to integrate with XML workflows. It also describes a sample PDF file that has been enabled with Reader Extensions, allowing users to fill out, save, distribute, add signatures to, and submit forms directly from Adobe Reader. Instructions are given for opening the sample in Reader and exporting the XML data.

Working with the Sample Files


Sample Set: TSP

1. Open the PDF file (tsp301.pdf ).


2. Select File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, select 'XML Data Package Files (*.xdp)'
in the Save as type: pull-down menu.
The XDP specification is a way to save a PDF files in XML format where a number of PDF
sub-assemblies are exposed in the xml file. Some of these sub-assemblies include the XML
form template definition and the XML form data schema, among others. The PDF file itself
is also base-64 encoded in the XDP. As a result, PDF files can participate in XML workflows
where an enterprise has existing infrastructure, applications, and tooling for processing
XML. Then when the user needs to interact with the XML data, the XDP file can also be
opened in Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

tsp301b1.pdf
This is an example of a PDF/XML document that has also been rights enabled with Adobe
Document Server for Reader Extensions, providing users of the free Adobe Reader 6 with
the ability to save forms and data locally, fill them out online, distribute to others for review
and commenting, add digital signatures, and submit them via e-mail or the Web directly
from within Adobe Reader.
Most organizations want to accrue the benefits of using PDF/XML forms, but don't want to
impose any cost or technology constraints on their users or customers. Adobe solutions
allows organizations to accomplish both of these goals because the Adobe Reader is free
and is available on most major technology platforms.
To see how the XML capabilities are enabled in this sample, follow the instructions below:
1. Open the PDF file (tsp301b1.pdf ) in Adobe Reader 6.
Since this sample file has been rights enabled, the user can fill in and save the form
using the Reader. Similarly, the xml data can also be exported from the Reader.
2. Select Document > Fill-in Form > Export Forms Data. In the Export Forms Data As
dialog box, select XML files (.xml) in the Save as type: pull-down menu.
