Re: PDF Widget No Filled Forms

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

No big rush. I can open the form in a web browser if necessary. My idea was to 
have a Native Document Viewer like the document management app we currently 
use, but I am not using my app for that yet. I just generate filled forms for 
service at the moment. I will create a bug report with a sample stack and form. 
I should note that this form is the kind where it can be filled using Adobe 
Reader. For some reason, Adobe has 2 kinds of forms.

Re: PDF Widget No Filled Forms

[matthias rebbe via use-livecode]

Bob,

as a workaround you could create a temporary pdf file that is then displayed in 
the pdf widget.
You'll need the free tool PDFTK server with its fill-form option for this.  
PDFTK server runs on macOS, Windows and some Linux versions. 
PDFTK server is free  https://www.pdflabs.com

If you need it for iOS or Android you could use a web server to which you post 
the .fdf or xfdf data and the web server then runs pdftk server, creates the 
pdf and returns it back to the device.

Not as easy then just opening the .(x)fdf file, but at least a solution. ;)

Regards,
Matthias

Hi Bob

Hmm… OK, it could be a bit of a project to get your forms rendering then. If 
it’s something you need soon and you have a budget then contact 
supp...@livecode.com . Otherwise you can create a 
bug report and attach the PDF.

FYI there is no support for form interactivity at the moment so the select text 
is on the PDF text rather than the form fields.

Cheers

Monte

Nope. Not only that, but the autoHilite (Select Text) is not working either.

PDF Widget No Filled Forms

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

I have filled forms, and I am just now wanting to display those FILLED forms in 
a PDF widget. Only problem is, the form data is not being displayed. Is that 
the current state of affairs? If so, then boo!
