You might try creating an FDF file based on login, then serve that up in the Browser. It’s easy enough to do with the FDFToolkit, or even hand-coding an FDF file. You then point the FDF to the parent pdf, and serve up the FDF,  which displays the populated PDF in the browser window.

 

No client side code, no _javascript_, and only one trip.

Subject: [PDF-Forms] Web Application for Forms : Manipulation to the form

 

Hi

 

We have a web application, where in some fields of the PDF forms are directly populated from our database based on Login.

Eg: If a client XYZ logs on the web application and selects a particular form (from a number of forms), the Field "Name" on the PDF form's is directly populated from our database and shown to the client in the form.

 

We achieve this by following way :

We submit the form as soon as the PDF forms is opened in the reader on the web by the client and populate it with the values from the database.

 

For this we attach the submit form action to the Page Open event (i.e Document->Set Page Action->Page Open->Submit Form action).

 

We do not want this to be a manual process (Done presently) as there are many forms and in future more will be added. So we are planing to write a VB utility which will do this for Us. But I am not able to find the right object and method to this. I have searched for OLE object, Inter Application Communication reference w/o any help.

 

Can someone provide some help on this.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Kuljit Chadha
