i have a v8 acroform that contains many fields, a digital signature, and a "Submit" button. the Submit button is set to process via "XML Data Package (XDP)" where i specify "PDF" and "Digital Signature".

i would assume the form fields would come across, as there is no explicit option for them.

anyway on submission, i am directed to my webpage, yet i cannot seem to find any data. there are NO parameter/value pairs, the QueryString is empty.

where's the data???

tia....

i have used request.getInputStream(); and have something like a pdf. after writing out the byte[] stream the first line of that file is:

%PDF-1.7
%âãÏÓ

i eventually see the "%%EOF", but since i have no clue as to how many bytes to allocate for the input stream ...i used:

byte[] b = new byte[request.getContentLength()];

however, i'm getting more "stuff" after the "%%EOF" marker.

If you're submitting the entire PDF then in order to see the data with Reader you need to Reader-enable the form first with Acrobat 8 Pro.

I have a form with a submit button that is set to send an email of the full pdf form and entered data to a specified email address. When I click the button to submit the form, an email opens with the pdf form with all fields empty. What am i missing? I have allowed the form to be saved.

I am using Acrobat Pro v8.

Try re-Reader enabling your form and installing the latest updates (8.1.2 at this point) to see if it corrects the issue.
