Posting PDF Fields to Server

[rizwan]

Hi,

We are new and evaluating our options for the PDF Viewers. We have to give user ability to View Interactive PDF, and then fill it out and post it to our server.

So Question simply is:

1- Can PDFXChange Viewer, POST Data to Server When PDF is embeded in HTML page? (PDF can be displayed in IFRAME / Object tag)
2- If we create interactive form Adobe Acrobat, and put in a HttpSubmit Button there, would it work?

What are our options with controls you have?

Thanks,
Rizwan Ahmed

Hi rizwan

I'm afraid that the current version of PDF-XChange Viewer doesn't support for submit (post or get). We are planning support for this in V3 due for release late summer.

Ok, that will be really buying point if you people can make it happen. Now Can i somehow read data from All Fields in PDF Interactive Form through Javascript?

Does your Active X Supports that?

Thanks,

yes, there ways to do that.

1. export forms data to FDF/XFDF file (or string) using JavaScript.
2. use JS to get values for each field (using document.getField("field_name").value code)

JS script can be executed via ActiveX - please check the manual P73 for use of JavaScript.
