Also applies to Adobe LiveCycle
Note:
The steps to install and use Mobile Forms IVS described in this article are updated for LiveCycle ES4 Service Pack 1. If you are on the LiveCycle ES4 base release, follow the steps described in Key Distinctions between LiveCycle ES4 and Service pack 1.
The Mobile Forms Installation Verification Sample (IVS) application is a utility to verify installation of the Mobile Forms service, and how it renders forms.
The IVS application uploads the XFA-based form template using a desktop browser to a server and renders these uploaded templates in a browser of your choice. You can render/view the uploaded templates on a mobile device but uploading of templates is limited to a desktop browser. Use the following instructions to configure and use the IVS application:
Set up the Mobile Forms IVS application
The IVS application, adobe-forms-ivs-pkg-<version>.zip, is delivered along with the LiveCycle installer. The default location of the application is the [LiveCycle_root]/deploy/crx/ folder.
Install the IVS application
- Access the CRX console at http://[host]:[port]/lc/crx/explorer/index.jsp.
- Click Package Manager.
- In the Package Manager, navigate to the adobe-forms-ivs-pkg.zip file.
- Click Install.
Note:
Do not deploy the IVS package to a production environment.

In the folder field, specify the name of the folder that you want to use for storing the XFA-based forms on the application server.

To select the XFA form or the XML data document, click Browse, select an XFA-based form (.xdp) for transformation or data document (.xml), and click Open.

To upload an XFA form or a data file, click Upload File & List Existing Forms. A list of the available XFA forms and Data Files appears in the corresponding list boxes.
