RE: [PHP] FDF quit work for Acrobat 6

[Roedel, Mark]

I don't see any substantial differences between your snippet and the one
we're using.  (In fact, the only real difference in output is that I've
got an additional \n following the Root 1 0 R.)  Our system has
continued working with Acrobat 6, although we've noticed the newer
reader has a tendency to cache old FDF's rather than using the fresh
one.

Is that what you're seeing as well, or do you get some sort of error
message?

Subject: [PHP] FDF quit work for Acrobat 6


Launching a PDF form from PHP is easy (got the code below from php.net).
Anyway this method works with Acrobat 5 readers and not Acrobat 6.  Does
anyone know why?
thanks,
-eric wood

snip
$fdfdata = %FDF-1.2\n%~B~D~\~T\n;
$fdfdata .= 1 0 obj \n /FDF ;
$fdfdata .=  /Fields [\n;
foreach($values as $key=$val)
{
$fdfdata.= /V ($val)/T ($key)  ;
}
$fdfdata .= ]\n;
$fdfdata .= /F (http://www.pdfs.com/Invoice.pdf);
$fdfdata .= \nendobj\ntrailer\n\n/Root 1 0 R\n\n;
$fdfdata .= %%EOF;

header (Content-Type: application/vnd.fdf);
print $fdfdata;
snap

I've seen some variations of the with newlines scattered here and there
which should matter too much.  I'm using a javasript popup window (child
window) to run the script.  There may be an issue with that because under
5.0.5, the popup window goes away and a PDF window appears..  With 6.0 the
child window doesn't go away and the PDF window doesn't appear.   The child
window just stay blank.

I'm going to try and not launch a child window and see if that curses the
problem.
