How to collect data from a pdf package of forms. I have 3 to 4 forms that I've combined into a PDF package, how do I collect data from these forms?
Thanks
What exactly do you mean by collecting the data. Submitting it? Saving it to a disk file?
Of course you can just open up each file individually and "collect" the data the way you normally would. But if you want to automate the process you'll need to write a script. There's an example of this in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. Look at Example #5 for the entry on "doc.submitForm()".
