RE: integrate Adobe LiveCycle with i DB2

Jim,

It looks like LiveCycle supports Web services...

Might be an easier path for integration, imo.

Our parent corp has already purchased Life Cycle, then mandated it's use (we don't get asked). We are one of 40 something companies, and only one of two Power i. They are stopping us from purchasing other solutions (and yours was our pick..). Forms is only one of several changes we have coming in this corp "mother-ship" approach.
Dieter's comment on JDBC is a good path to explore. Ultimately they envision a web service approach, where they host the app.

Hi Jim,

We recently did a customer project where they were looking at
LiveCycle for big $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

We ended up using our PDF Form Filling technology to build a solution
for them that can use data from any database.

If we spin through your requirements we can probably help you build a
driver process to auto-fill PDF documents from the i without needing
Livecycle.

If you don't get where you need to go with Livecycle let me know. I'm
pretty sure we can help. Just depends on your budget :-)

subject: integrate Adobe LiveCycle with i DB2

Has anyone integrated Adobe Live Cycle (forms and more) with i DB2?
We have been tasked with looking into it.
The Live Cycle (enterprise) is already purchased by parent corp and we
are told our future forms should be with that product.
We are an insurance co with many forms (all based on i), many auto
generated, and many individual customized, all with DB2 data.
Trying not to build hundreds of programs for hundreds of forms, but a
standard engine to drive the processing of forms with merge data.
