We are currently evaluating LiveCycle ES and had some general questions on the capabilities of LS:
1. Is the only way for desktop applications to interface with LiveCycle ES is through web services?
2. Many of our PDF documents are generated by running a Crystal Report, then exporting to PDF. Is there any way for LiveCycle ES to run a Crystal Report and export the PDF, passing in parameters? Does anyone have a solution for this?
3. Can LiveCycle ES server serve as a document repository library, storing thousands of pdf's for later retrieval, where each document in the library would be associated with a database record? If an outside desktop application had the database record, would the application be able to use LiveCycle web services to use the database record to ask LiveCycle to retreive the document associated with the database record?
Thanks much,
Jim
