In order to deploy the DSC the most easy way is to have a Workbench installed. But there are also ways to deploy a DSC without having WorkBench by our side. In Java, we do so by the help of LC SDK jars, namely adobe-livecycle.jar and adobe-usermanagement-client.jar. Now, what if we want to deploy a DSC from a FLEX UI on a Livecycle Server, running somewhere remote, let say by the click of a button on an AIR App. But in Flex we can't use SDK jars, hence the creation of ServiceClientFacory is impossible.
Solution
Flex exposes remoting endpoint which can be used to communicate with LiveCycle via LCDS. The adobe-remoting-provider.swc whihc is used to facilitate the communication, can be found at the LiveCycle installed location, \\Adobe LiveCycle ES2\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\misc\DataServices\Client-Libraries.
The default view for PDF documents created in your organization is the Bookmarks panel open view. Visually this is not very appealing for documents that are only one page. A process is required that determines how many pages are in a document and then applies a different view based on that number.
Solution
In place of adding a watched folder on top of the GeneratePDFService of PDFg to generate a PDF from incoming documents, we need to create a simple process that will allow us to change the value of the initial view of the document based on the number of pages in it.
LiveCycle ES Data Services (the rock star product formerly know as Flex Data Services) can be run on the Mac but there are a few things you have to do. This tutorial will show you how to hack it to run on a JBoss instance on the Mac natively.
Solution
Not to brag, but it starts up in about 28 seconds!!! I did this because I wanted it for demos and development work. In theory, it should work for the Mac Servers too.
