DIDComposePdfV1

The DIDComposePdfV1 call composes a PDF document from a Document Template.

The request requires the following fields next to the standard fields.

Field Type Description
project repositoryobjectname The Designer project that contains the Document Template to use.
documenttemplate repositoryobjectname The Document Template to use. Only the following formats are supported: DOC, DOCX, and PDF. The DOC format has been deprecated in KCM 5.7.0.
status message Optional. The status of the Document Template to use. The available statuses are Current, Accepted, or Published. If omitted, Published is used.
securedocument boolean Optional. Indicates whether a secured PDF document must be produced. If omitted, the default value is false.
keys message Optional. A semicolon separated list of keys. If a key should refer to the uploaded xmlfile, the special value *XMLFILE should be used. In this case the xmlfile parameter is required. Note that *XMLFILE is interpreted case-sensitively.
extras message Optional. An extra parameter is a single string that contains items separated by semilcolons and has a limitation of 1024 characters. This parameter is not meant to pass big amounts of data to a template, for this purpose, use the Data Backbone.
xmlfile base64Binary Optional. A base-64 encoded data xml file, which matches the DID on which the template is based. If a file is passed for the xmlfile parameter, the keys will be required to contain at least one occurrence of *XMLFILE.
environment name Optional. Specifies the data environment that will be used. If no environment parameter is passed, the default environment will be used. If you pass an environment that does not exist, an error occurs.

If you want to supply a key or extra value with a semicolon, use a slash as an escape character.

Example:

  • Extra1;Extra2. These are two extra parameters separated by a semicolon: Extra1 and Extra2.

  • Extra1/;Extra2. This is only one extra parameter value: Extra1;Extra2.
