Common Errors
Field Data cannot be null
The Field Data property must have Input Data, or the step will fail with the following Exception Message.
Exception Stack Trace: DecisionsFramework.Design.Flow.ErrorRunningFlowStep: Error running step Set PDF Form Fields Dynamic 1[SetPDFFormFieldsDynamic] in flow [Display Steps]: Field Data cannot be null.
---> DecisionsFramework.LoggedException: Field Data cannot be null.

PDF File cannot be null
The PDF File property must have Input Data, or the step will fail with the following Exception Message.

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---Incorrect File Header
This step requires a PDF file; if any other file type is used as the PDF File input, the following error will occur.
To correct this, use a PDF file.
