RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
Hi, Leigh...and thanks for replying. I can only assume it's post, since the only submission options are Submit to: - HTTP address - Email address - FTP address - FDF file And I have HTTP address chosen as the submission method ( going to my localhost, for now).

RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
I ran into this one last week. Dump the #FORM# object if you are using HTTP. cfdump var=#FORM# You dont even need the cfpdfform tag you have running. The PDF submits the form fields just like a form method=post HTML tag. -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:r...@whitestonemedia.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:30 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...

RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
Thanks for the reply, Chad... When I use the following in the method: cffunction name= mProcessPDFApplication displayName = mProcessPDFApplication hint= Process online PDF rental application output = false returnType = struct access = remote cfdump var=#form# cfabort /cffunction I get the cfdump table with just the blue rectangle that states struct [empty]... Any idea why the form field values wouldn't be showing up? Do I need to change the cffunction settings somehow?

RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
Did you fill out the PDF with information in the form? The PDF form does not work like an HTML form. You have to have typed something into the fields for them to populate in the FORM object. It has something to do with the form in the PDF. You will want to edit it and check out how it is setup. -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:r...@whitestonemedia.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 10:59 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...

RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
Yep...I actually took the time fill in all of the 90 fields, give-or-take a few, just to make sure that an incomplete form, when all fields are required to have an entry, wasn't the problem. I tried it with the complete form filled in and with just a few fields...same thing. I'll double-check the form setup, although I've double-checked it 3 times already. :o) Thanks, Rick -Original Message- From: Chad Gray [mailto:cg...@careyweb.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 11:21 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...

RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
Ya, load it up in acrobat pro and use the form tools to view each form field and how it is setup. The field Name under the general tab will be the name of the form field in the #FORM# object when it submits. Sounds like that Foxit software you used did not setup the form right. You can email it to me off list if you dont have Acrobat Pro. -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:r...@whitestonemedia.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 11:37 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...

RE: Can't quite figure out how to process PDF form...
I couldn't tell anything about the form name in Foxit Phantom, so I did email the PDF to you off-list. Thanks for your help with this!
