I want to make a pdf form that has a dropdownlist filled with data from an external xml file. The xml file is updated every few days.

I want it so that the client can click a button on our application to download the pdf. When it is downloaded (or when the xml file is updated, whichever works best), I would like it so the pdf prepopulates its dropdownlist with the data from the xml file and is then pushed to the client.

The xml has a structure similar to this:

<items>
    <item>
        <display>string displayed in dropdownlist</display>
        <value>value used in barcode</value>
    </item>
    <item>
        <display>Sample data</display>
        <value>1</value>
    </item>
</items>

So the client would download the pdf file, open it in reader, fill out the form, where the data is put into a pdf417 barcode (so I need the form to retain the extended reader functionality), printed, etc.

I'm currently using LiveCycle Designer to create the form, and a LiveCycle server is not out of the question if that's what's needed.

Is this even possible? How would I do that?

是的，有可能。事实上，LiveCycle ES 服务器（连同其相关模块）有助于将 XML 与 LiveCycle 模板合并。

在您提到的用例中，您可以利用 LiveCycle 服务器将 XML 数据与 PDF 合并，生成动态 PDF，Reader 对其进行扩展并将其呈现给客户端。下拉列表也将包含更新的数据。

如果您有任何其他问题，请告诉我。

谢谢，阿玛汉。
