Parameters

response:com.adobe.icc.vo.render:PDFResponseType — The response returned from a call to render a letter (via renderLetter(), for example).

Returns
com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken — A string containing the URL to the rendered file.

Throws
Error — Invalid render response.
 
Error — Render response indicates a failure to render the letter.

renderInteractiveLetter

()method 
public function renderInteractiveLetter(letterId:String, initialXmlData:String = null):com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Asset Composer Building Block 9.5
Runtime Versions: AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10

Render a given Letter as an augmented shell PDF for interactive use in Doc Composer. The PDF returned will be augmented with UI facilities for interactive use in Doc Composer but will not contain any data nor any modules, even mandatory and pre-selected ones. It is up to the client to fill the letter.

Parameters

letterId:String — ID (GUID) of the letter to render.
 
initialXmlData:String (default = null) — Initial XML Data (IXD) to use in order to author appropriate target area data bindings based on the IXD's root element name. If not specified, target area data bindings will use the name of the root subform found in the Letter's Layout template.

Returns
com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken — A PDFResponseType object that contains the name of the PDF file rendered on the server. Use the getRenderedFileUrl() method to get the full URL to the file.

Throws
Error — Letter ID is invalid.

Parameters

letter:Letter — Fully populated Letter object with layout and assignments.
 
initialXmlData:String (default = null) — Initial XML Data (IXD) to use in order to author appropriate target area data bindings based on the IXD's root element name. If not specified, target area data bindings will use the name of the root subform found in the Letter's Layout template.

Returns
com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken — A PDFResponseType object that contains the name of the PDF file rendered on the server. Use the getRenderedFileUrl() method to get the full URL to the file.

renderLetter

()method 
public function renderLetter(letterId:String, mergeData:Boolean = false, initialXmlData:String = null, useTestData:Boolean = false, interactive:Boolean = true):com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Asset Composer Building Block 9.5
Runtime Versions: AIR (unsupported), Flash Player 9, Flash Player 10

Render a given Letter against the given Initial XML Data, the Letter's test data or no data at all (for a UI-augmented shell Layout PDF for interactive use in Doc Composer).

Parameters

letterId:String — ID (GUID) of the letter to render.
 
mergeData:Boolean (default = false) — If false, data-related parameters are ignored and the PDF returned will be augmented with UI facilities for interactive use in Doc Composer but will not contain any data nor any modules, even mandatory and pre-selected ones. It is up to the client to fill the letter. If true, some type of data must be given for rendering purposes.
 
initialXmlData:String (default = null) — Initial XML Data to be merged with the Letter's Layout template. The data's schema is expected to match the schema of the Letter's Layout as well as the schema of the Letter's Data Dictionary (2010/Apr/08: this should not be a constraint but is currently imposed).

Can be null if mergeData is false or useTestData is true.

If specified, this data takes precedence over any existing test data, even if useTestData is true.

 
useTestData:Boolean (default = false) — If true, the Letter's test data will be used as the Initial XML Data. This test data's schema is expected to match the schema of the Letter's Layout as well as the schema of the Letter's Data Dictionary (2010/Apr/08: this should not be a constraint but is currently imposed).

Ignored if initialXmlData is not null.

 
interactive:Boolean (default = true) — True if the rendered letter should be an interactive PDF, false if it should be a flattened PDF.

Returns
com.adobe.icc.token:IAsyncToken — If mergeData is false, a PDFResponseType object that contains the name of the PDF file rendered on the server. Use the getRenderedFileUrl() method to get the full URL to the file. If mergeData is true, the PDFResponseType object only contains information about the rendered file but not the file itself. To always get access the rendered PDF on the server, use the renderLetterToFile() method.

Throws
Error — Letter ID is invalid.
 
Error — MergeData is true, initialXmlData is null and useTestData is false (no data supplied).
 
Error — MergeData is true, initialXmlData is null, useTestData is true but the Letter doesn't have test data.
 
Error — The data supplied couldn't be used to initialize the Letter's Data Dictionary.
