Invoking LiveCycle Assembler Using
C
LiveCycle Workflow and Watched Folder
This appendix describes how to invoke LiveCycle Assembler through LiveCycle Workflow, using the
LiveCycle Assembler QPACs and Watched Folder.
This appendix assumes that you have installed, configured, and deployed LiveCycle Assembler,
LiveCycle Workflow, and Watched Folder.
Note: Watched folders can be implemented for use with LiveCycle PDF Generator, but need to be
configured separately. The contents of this chapter refer only to the Watched Folder service that
integrates LiveCycle Workflow and LiveCycle Assembler. For information on setting up watched
folders for LiveCycle PDF Generator, see LiveCycle PDF Generator Administration Help, available from
the LiveCycle PDF Generator web interface.

Summary of tasks

Using either Watched Folder or a client application you developed, you can direct LiveCycle Workflow to
initiate a workflow that activates a LiveCycle Assembler QPAC.
This section outlines the tasks required to set up a workflow that completes a LiveCycle Assembler process
that is invoked by Watched Folder. The detailed steps required to complete the tasks are located in the
section or document indicated. You must perform the tasks in the order that they are listed in the table.
Note: Do not run Configuration Manager until you have completed installing the files for each of the
products.
