I'm wanting to develop a pdf document which, when opened, writes the logged in users name to a database.
Will this work if users open the documents in Adobe Reader? I've been reading that ADBC doesn't work on Reader, only Standard/Pro.
If anybody can point me in the right direction that would be great.

ADBC has been removed from the Acrobat X Family. Developers should use the SOAP/XFA connection utilities instead. XFA connections can be created using the tools in LiveCycle Designer, but SOAP connections in Adobe Reader can only be made if the PDF file is extended using LiveCycle's server software - NOT by Acrobat or LCD.

ADBC has been depreciated more and more with each new major version of Acrobat. It has never been available to Adobe Reader.
You might want to consider submitting the form to a web server script page or use LiveCycle Designer's data conection.

If I was to create something using LiveCycle, would that then run in Adobe Reader (I'm using Acrobat 9, btw)?
Basically what I'm after is this:-
We have a simple database with three fields - pdf file name, username and date document read. I want some code in some PDFs which will run on a button click, which will record these details into the database.
Is it possible to develop this in Acrobat so it runs in Reader, and if so, what tools do I need to do this?
Thanks again guys,
Matt
