Creating a template to generate the PDF

$

Hi,

 

I am newbie to Indesign, i have a task to generate the XML template , which should contain the respective tags for report generation with various layout, fonts, styles, etc. Whether it is possible to auto generate the XML through Indesign CS4 tool with the above the features. For example i have a column "EmpId" which should contain the following paragraph style:-

 

<EmpId>

<ParagraphStyle>
          <SpaceAfter>0</SpaceAfter>
          <LineSpacing>11</LineSpacing>
          <LineSpacingRule>wdLineSpaceExactly</LineSpacingRule>
        </ParagraphStyle>

</EmpId>

 

currently i am manually doing this, whether Indesign CS4 will generate these tags in a XML templHelloate by adding this feature from the tool or drag and drop ? so finally i can use the Java Adobe API to load this XML template and generate a PDF. I have done some research on this and i am unable to find a suitable examples .

I have lot of queries :-

 

1) Please do provide some examples also, to generate the PDF using Java Adobe API why we need a ORB ?

2) Whether it is a must to connect to the server? Currently i have downloaded Server SDK which contains the API to generate the code for PDF.

3) But in the HelloWorld example what i saw is we need to pass a IOR file to generate the PDF doc. So, whenever we need to generate a PDF , we need to pass the IOR file as well? So, that it will use the ORB to talk to server. Whether i need to install the Indesign server separately? I have downloaded only the SDK?

4) For HelloWorld program what is the IOR file i can pass, please do provide the sample IOR file which may work so that i can get some idea?

 

Please do shed some light into this as it is really urgent.

 

Thanks,

Rithu
