javascript for numFields may give wrong count when >424+/-?

[nphaingdy]

Hi when a form created contains greater than 424+/- fields, calling the following javascript appears to possibly max out at 424+/-. Is this a bug? If so, is there a fix or another way to get the correct fields count until the fix is in?

ActiveX Viewer Pro SDK 4.0 (Nov. 25, 2008 Edition).
Form generated in Adobe 9.0.
There are 476 fields but "this.numFields" returns only 424 as count.
Windows XP, Service Pack 2
4 GB RAM

Thanks.

Can you send me your document with this form? You can use Ivan@tracker-software.com to send it.

Form sent. Thanks.

As I see, Adobe Acrobat says that there are 424 fields too.

Why do you think that there are more ?

To get around the "this.numFields" issue I did the following to interate through all the fields via indexing. At the end, the index count was 477. In addition, I outputted the field names into and file and was able to see all my fields in the workaround but was not able to see it if I had iterated using the "this.numFields" returned value [ie. the fields with index beyond 424]. Thanks:

int nIndex=0;
std::string sFieldName="";
std::string sFieldValue="";
while((sFieldName=MPDFGetFieldName(nIndex))!="")
{
std::string sFieldName=MPDFGetFieldName(nIndex);
std::string sFieldValue=MPDFGetFieldValue(nIndex);

//...//
nIndex++;
}

//MPDFGetFieldValue
std::string MPDFGetFieldValue(long lFieldNum)
{
std::string sRetVal="";
try{
if(IsWindow(m_cPDFView.m_hWnd))
{
char szInput[256];
sprintf(szInput, "this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(%i)).value", lFieldNum);
_bstr_t sInput;
sInput=szInput;

_bstr_t sResult;
sResult="";
m_cPDFView.RunJavaScript(sInput, sResult.GetAddress(), 0, 0);
sRetVal=(char*) sResult;
}
}
catch(...)
{
sRetVal="";
}
return sRetVal;
}

Thanks.

Looks like I have found where the problem is: not in the numFields property, but in the getNthFieldName function.

A Fix will be available soon in a new build of the viewer.

Fantastic! Thanks.

Do you know when we can expect the new build?

Thanks.

Within the next 10 days - barring any unforseen issues.

Thanks for your patience.
