Hi,
is the first time that I use Adobe live cycle designer 8.0.
I need to know if I can develop a project.
I work with a web application that opens a pdf form.
The form contains fields that display selected data from a db(SQL or ORACLE) , the form must also allow the modification of other fields in the db.
I have two questions:
1) I am able to view, insert and update records in a db using a form pdf?
2) a form pdf can accept an input parameter ("ID") to perform a db query to display the corresponding data of the record?
Sorry for my English,
Thank you very much
But if the DB is remote and/or the form is viewed in Reader, things get a little more difficult. Acrobat cannot communicate directly with a remote database. Instead, the form sends HTTP Requests to a server script, the server script communcates with the DB and sends the data back in an HTTP response.
Send an HTTP Request with a submit operation from the form. Use either the AcroForm Submit function, or a Regular LiveCycle Button, with the submit option set.
Data is sent and recieved by Acrobat in a variety of formats.
You'll have to look all of this information up in the XFA and Adobe XML forms references.
