Exporting Retrieved PDF Form Field Values to an XML File

To export retrieved PDF form field values to an XML file, complete the following steps:
  1. Check out and open the process you want to edit.

  2. Open the Read PDF Form activity in the process that you previously configured and now want to edit.

  3. Click the Data Mapping tab. The corresponding screen is displayed.

  4. Select the Export Form Fields to XML check box.

  5. In the Output File Name field, select the appropriate input field editor and set the field to a value that is a file name.

  6. From the If the file already exists section, select Overwrite the file or Increment the file name.

    Note:
    Select Overwrite the file to replace the existing file. Select Increment the file name to append a _1, for example, to the file name the first time the process runs and sees that a file already exists. The number will increment each time the process runs and finds a file with the same name.


  7. In the Output File Location field, select the appropriate input field editor and set the field to a value that is a file location where you want to store the XML file.

  8. In the Authentication section, select the Run as BPM Server or Specify credentials option.

    Note:
    If you select Run as BPM Server, access will be granted or rejected based on the BPM Server credentials. If you select Specify credentials, complete the Username, Password, and Include domain fields using the appropriate input field editors. The Include domain check box is optional.


  9. Click OK. You configured the activity to export form field values to an XML file.
