Issues fixed in the QF

  • Some PDF files that Acrobat considers PDF/A-1b compliant, are not considered PDF/A-1b compliant by LiveCycle. (Ref #3831595)
  • After the Assembly service completes merging PDFs, the temporary files in the Temp directory are not automatically deleted. (Ref #3767338)
  • When the Assembler attempts to assemble two PDF files created with Acrobat, and the larger file is not the base document an out of memory error is displayed even though the Java heap size is sufficiently large. (Ref #3832299)
  • When adding attachments to a PDF document using Assembler sometimes attachments are not compressed at all. (Ref #3657406)

Prerequisites to installing the QF

Installing and configuring the QF

  1. Take a backup of the <LiveCycle_root>/deploy folder. It is required if you decide to uninstall the quick fix.
  2. Stop your application server.
  3. Extract the QF archive file to your hard drive.
  4. In the directory named according to the operating system that you are using:
    • Windows
      Navigate to the appropriate directory on the installation media or folder on your hard disk where you copied the installer, and double-click the install.exe file.
      • (Windows 32-bit) CDROM_Installers\Windows\Disk1\InstData\VM
      • (Windows 64-bit) CDROM_Installers\Windows_64Bit\Disk1\InstData\VM
    • Linux, Solaris, AIX
      Navigate to the appropriate directory, and from a command prompt, type ./install.bin.
      • (Linux) CDROM_Installers/Disk1/InstData/NoVM
      • (Solaris) CDROM_Installers/Disk1/InstData/NoVM
      • (AIX) CDROM_Installers/Disk1/InstData/VM

    This launches an install wizard that guides you through the installation.

  5. On the Introduction panel, click Next.
