Specifying XCI configuration options

Created for:
User

Forms lets you specify a custom XCI file that it can use for rendering. (See Configuring locations for Forms.) By default, Forms override some of the options specified in the XCI file, including the following:

config/present/xdp/packets
config/present/pdf/creator
config/present/pdf/producer
config/present/pdf/compression/compressObjectStream

You can select options that cancel the override for the options listed above, in which case Forms uses the values specified in the custom XCI file.

In administration console, click Services > Forms.
Select or deselect the Use System Default XCI Options check box. When this option is selected, Forms uses its default values for the packets, creator, producer, and compressObjectStream settings. When this option is deselected, Forms uses the values specified in the custom XCI file.
Click Save.
