Hi,

I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 for developing Electronic forms. I wanted to build an Web utility (using ASP.Net 2.0), in which i will provide Electronic form to end user. They will fill it & save it locally. & Then End user will upload it on Website.

Currently i know how to create a Electronic form using Acrobat Professional 8. Now i wanted to know,

1) How to edit Electronic form?
2) How to save that Electronic form locally with entered values ?
3) How to read values of control (like textbox, listbox, radios), while uploading the data on website ?

Pls reply soon..

Any Help appreciated..

Thanks..

That is a lot of information for forum question. In general:

1) For a user to enter the form field data, select the hand tool and click on the form field. For test fields, the cursor becomes an I beam and the user can type the data into the text field. For check boxes, radio button use the left mouse button or space bar to select the field.

2) Professional and Standard can save froms locally. Reader can only save data locally if the PDF form has special form rights enabled either through Acrobazt 8 Professional or an LiveCycle ES server.

3) The form data can be saved to a database in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer throgh data connections. Or the data can be sent to web scripting page, usually PHP. If you want to use FDF or XFDF files, the PDF will need the extended reader rights enabled.

Hi gkaiseril ,

Thank you for your response.

But i would like to upload pdf file on web server with all entered Values. And then on webserver this file shall be read with all the text box and then update into database. There will be no direct database connection from the pdf to the
database.

If you have any sample file (In asp, asp.net or in php), Pls mail it to me.

Pls reply soon...

Thanks,
YOGESH JOSHI :)
