I am trying to convert an IFD to an XDP in Adobe LiveCycle ES4 Version 11.0.0.2013030303.1.892433. Some forms I have were converted with no problem when opened in LCD. However, other forms will generate the following error in the logs:
Msg#:101 Preamble Warning: Not all custom preamble information has been converted. 7 entries have been dropped (*).

Msg#:101 Preamble Conversion from IFD to XDP is complete.
When I go to "preview PDF," the form only shows one blank page. I am very new to PDFs and LC in general, so I do not know where to begin in solving this problem. I apologize if this is a duplicate post. Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated!
*Edit: Grammar
In general, LiveCycle Designer can't convert custom preambles but can convert standard preambles that are generated from Output Designer. The text of the message you provided looks like the standard preamble has been augmented with some additional custom commands.
The warning is indicating that that some of the custom preamble commands will need to be converted manually to equivalent LiveCycle code.
There is the Central Migration Guide to assist with this task however it does assume a certain level of both Output Designer and LiveCycle Designer knowledge.
