This is exactly what I need to know:
"Acrobat can easily convert PostScript back into a clean PDF, so this is a perfect technique to use for converting LiveCycle forms into a flat, archival PDF." -Thom Parker
I have successfully used the .saveAs() to save my form as a PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and .PS (postscript). I am really trying to save a print only copy of the interactive form (designed in LiveCycle).
Can javascript be used to automate this conversion with (trusted) javascript with a VB application or is Distiller required?
there is no way to real flatten a XFA-form with Acrobat or JavaScript.
This only can be done with a LiveCycle Server product.
It's because a XFA forms is not structured as a static PDF, it's a manipulable XML structure packed into a PDF container.
In other words, it's a completely different thing.
Only cheap solution to have the forms static is to print them with a PDF-printer into a new PDF-file (PS).
But then it loses all it's interactivity.
