What format is an FDF file?

Hi all. Just curious, I've been calling an FDF file produced by exporting fillable PDF form data, an XML file. Clearly it is not, I see now. The beginning of one looks soomething like this, and I'm wondering if this is a standard file format, or if it is something proprietary that Adobe came

RE: sending a JSON string

let me start by apologizing for my screw up... after looking even further into many more forum responses, I found that there is YET ANOTHER key used for a DELETE ... once I put that in Andre's code... guess what? it works perfectly!!! So pat yourself on the back, Andre! and thanks ever so

Re: pdftk issue solved

OK I see now it expects full paths. I was using cd to change directories and thinking it would default to the local directory. It's curious that the output is appending line feeds or carriage returns (which Adobe Acrobat doesn't do) and some of the object names have spaces in between each

Looks like the link for pdftk on the pdflabs website has not been updated. The version available from this link works fine for me on Mojave. https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/pdftk_server-2.02-mac_osx-10.11-setup.pkg Mark On Oct 18, 2018, 11:30 AM -0700, Bob Sneidar via

Never mind. pdftk will not work with normal pdf files either. Looks like this product is depricated. Bob S > On Oct 18, 2018, at 08:00 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > For those interested, I was having a problem creating an fdf file from a > fillable pdf form, or even

Re: pdftk issue solved

To be even fairer, the "P" in "PDF" stands for "Portable". Had they not made them "P"ortable, they would not have made any "M"oney. :-) Bob S > On Oct 18, 2018, at 08:11 , Richmond via use-livecode > wrote: > > "To be fair" (one of my least favourite phrases), Adobe did not go to all the >

Re: pdftk issue solved

"To be fair" (one of my least favourite phrases), Adobe did not go to all the trouble of inventing the PDF thing for it to be portable; they invented it as a way to make money. The fact that, at a later date, Adobe made the PDF more accessible is super: but, a bit like Willy Wonka, one must

pdftk issue solved

For those interested, I was having a problem creating an fdf file from a fillable pdf form, or even exporting the data using pdftk server. I think I figured out why! In order to create fillable pdf forms that can be filled by non-acrobat applications like Reader or Preview, they need to be

Re: LC 9.0 Windows - tooltip broken for new datagrid?

Well think about pointing at a populated record. Does the user want the tooltip for the datagrid? A tooltip for the record itself (they way I created a hack for) or the tooltip for the individual field? But I agree, if it doesn't do anything, it shouldn't be there. Bob S > On Oct 17, 2018,
