To create sample data to preview your form

If you do not want to use a sample data file that LiveCycle Designer ES automatically creates, you can create a sample data file manually.

1.	Save the form design as a PDF file.

2.	Open the PDF file and enter values in the fields you want to test.

3.	In Acrobat, select Advanced > Forms > Export Form Data.

4.	In the Export Form Data As dialog box, name and save the file as type XML Data Package (*.xdp).

5.	In LiveCycle Designer ES, select File > Form Properties > Preview tab.

6.	(Optional) To test the form that you are previewing as an interactive form, in the Preview Type list, select Interactive Form

7.	(Optional) To test the form that you are previewing for single-sided printing, in the Preview Type list, select Print Form (One-sided).

8.	(Optional) To test the form that you are previewing for double-sided printing, in the Preview Type list, select Print Form (Two-sided).

9.	Click the folder button next to the Data File box and browse to the XML file.

10.	Select the XML file and click OK.
