communication html pdf

Hello

I am beginner in PDF-XChange Viewer, have some question :

Is it possible to put javascript code into pdf document (like Acrobat X Pro)?

I put Javascript code through Acrobat X Pro and it works, now I want to make a post from my PDF/Javascript to HTML/Javascript. Is it feasible??

Thanks

Hello valeri_dzia,

And welcome to our forums. Yes we do support most of the JS methods you can include in a PDF file through Adobe's Acrobat products, but currently submitting data online is one of the few that we do not. We are working on this for v3 of our Viewer planned for release later this year.

Best,
Stefan

Thank you Stefan for your response

I am working on a project PDF Viewer and my goal is to store pdf annotation in database. I used Acrobat X Pro Trial Version and it works! But X Pro isn't free and I am researching another software for my project. nothing founded

Do you know If it exists a software loke X Pro, free which allows add annotation through Internet browser and communicate with page html?

Best regards

Hi valeri_dzia,

I am afraid that I am not aware of any such product. Our Free Viewer works with existing forms, and will soon support submitting data online from such forms.

We are also working on a forms creation tool for our Viewer - but this will also not be part of the free features set and you will need a license for it.

Best,
Stefan

Hello,

I'm a team mate of Valeri.

More specificaly we are trying to use the property "hostContainer" of the Doc object, (eg. this.hostContainer.postMessage when the PDF is embed in a browser). This property seems to be not implemented with PDF-XChange Viewer. I'm right ?

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

Yes unfortunately such a feature is not yet available in our Viewer.

Is it a feature you plan (in a nearest future) to add to your product ?

[Stefan - PDF-XChange]

Hi nithril,

Yes submitting form data is one of the features we are working on for v3 of our Viewer expected to be released later this year.

Best,
Stefan

I understand 'hostcontainer.postMessage' will be implemented when form data will be. I look forward this new version.

One more question . Do you know on which edition will it be available ?

Regards,

Nicolas

Hi nithril,

Thanks for the post.
It should be in the initial release of PDF-XChange Viewer version 3, which is also part of the XChange Pro bundle.
Thanks.

Sincerely,
