To import a Microsoft InfoPath file

You can import Microsoft InfoPath files (XSN) into LiveCycle Designer ES. During the conversion process, LiveCycle Designer ES extracts these components from the input file and uses them to create LiveCycle Designer ES XML elements:

•	An XML file describing the contents of the package

•	An XML file describing the InfoPath form

•	XSL files describing each view

•	A schema file for the InfoPath form

•	A script file, which is saved as comments in the LiveCycle Designer ES XML source code

LiveCycle Designer ES displays the file import options each time you import an InfoPath file.

1.	Select Tools > Import.

2.	From the Files Of Type list, select InfoPath (XSN).

3.	Navigate to the file that you want to open, select the file, and click Open.

4.	Do one of the following actions:

•	If you want to be prompted for a view, select the Prompt To Select View During Conversion option. If the InfoPath file has only one view, a prompt will not display even if you select this option.

•	If you know the name of the view that you want to import, type the name of the view in the View box. To convert the default view, leave the box blank.

5.	Do one of the following actions:

•	Select the Import Print Settings option to import headers and footers, page orientation, and page margins of the InfoPath form.

•	If you know the page size of the InfoPath form, select one from the list or select Default.

•	If you know the page orientation of the InfoPath form, select one from the list.

Note:

If you select the Import Print Settings option, the page size and orientation are taken from the InfoPath form and you do not have to select the page size and orientation.

6.	(Optional) Select an option from the Generate A Log File list.

7.	(Optional) To convert and embed any images into the form design, select Embed Images In XDP.

8.

Click OK.

Note:

LiveCycle Designer ES uses Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later to transfer data while importing an InfoPath file. If you do not have Internet Explorer installed, you cannot import an InfoPath file into LiveCycle Designer ES.
