LiveCycle 8: Formulardaten in mySQL speichern...

Hi,
Ich habe ein dringendes Problem, und kenn mich leider nicht aus:
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit mittels LiveCycle 8 folgendes zu realisieren:
1.) Die Informationen eines PDF-Formulares sollen sobald die Senden-Schaltfläche gedrückt wurde in einer mySQL-Datenbank gespeichert werden.(Auf dem Webserver läuft PHP und CGI Scripts - vielleicht ist das eine Hilfe??)
2.) Es soll überprüft werden ob die Übertragung/Speicherung erfolgreich war. Sowohl wenn die Übertragung erfolgreich war, als auch wenn diese nicht erfolgreich war (z.B. weil keine Internetverbindung bestand), soll dem Benutzer (in irgendeiner Form) angezeigt werden.
3.) Und nun zum kompliziertesten Teil: Wenn die Übertragung erfolgreich war soll sich die Senden-Schaltfläche deaktivieren, so dass keine erneute Übertragung mehr durchgeführt werden kann - auch nicht wenn das PDF neu geoffnet würde (vielleicht liese dies sich dies mittels einer Art Auto-Speicherung realisieren???)
Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!!!

Hallo Bernd,
vielen Dank für den Link. Hat mir echt weitergeholfen. Ist schwierig, bei begrenzter Arbeitszeit alle Foren zu durchsuchen, vor allem wenn man sich mit neuen Themen beschäftigt.
1 Problem weniger .
Leider weiß ich immer noch nicht, ob oder wie man über den Button "Formular Senden" das ausgefüllte PDF File versenden kann. Abspeichern & Einfügen ist kein Problem. Aber über den Button "Formular Senden"bekomme ich nur die Daten im xml Format. Das ist für unsere Anwendung unpraktisch, da mehrere interne Abteilungen mit dem Formular arbeiten sollen und nicht jeder Adope Acrobat zur Verfügung hat, sondern nur den Reader.
Gibt es eine Option unter Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 oder Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, die das Versenden des gesamten, ausgefüllten PDF-Formulars möglich macht (mit "Hilfe" des Senden Buttons)?
Viele Grüße, Ringo

Adobe LiveCycle Designer vs. MySQL 4.1

Hi,
I have to design a input form for a client using LiveCycle Designer, but the client want to use for database a MySQL server. I can't make a connection to the MySQL server.
To connect, I use "New Data Connection" from File menu, I select "OLEDB Database", I select "Build ..." button, from OLEBD Providers I select "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server", I click the "Next" button. In field "Select or enter a server name" I write "localhost", I specify a user name and a password, a specify a database on server, and I click the "Test Connection" button. The error message that I've got is:
"Test connection failed because of an error in intializing provider. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access denied."
My question is: can I use LiveCycle Designer with a MySQL server? If yes, what do I need? How can I make a connection to the MySQL server? Can I use SQL statements, like select, insert and update? I saw that the only script available are FormCalc and JavaScript.
I find on a site (http://www.romsym.ro/detalii.php?ctg=687) that MySQL server can be use with LiveCycle, but for that I have to install on a server "Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition".
If I use MS Access like database, do I need a server, or can I use it on my computer with Windows XP Professional?
Thanks.
p.s.
I use LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I had no problem connecting to Accesss...
I created a drop down menu and then I clicked on Object > Binding then click on > Default Binding (Open, Save, Submit) then "New Data Connection"
then connect to the database using a fileDSN (I created a fileDSN to connect to the Access DB in the ODBC connections on my computer).
Then I selected the tables and under query I wrote
select * from tableName
Then it gave me all the fields from the table and I dragged the name field over the drop down menu.

Problem with Datasource for SQL Server Express

I have set up a development environment to develop some processes for the HCSO client and have a question. I have a turnkey install on my laptop with MYSQL. The liveCycle databases are in MYSQL. I have also installed SQL Server Express on this machine and created a table to query that will control workflow. I added a datasource configuration in the adobe-ds.xml configuration file. That configuration is:
<local-tx-datasource>
 <jndi-name>HCSO</jndi-name>
 <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=DBName</connection-url>
 <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
 <user-name>username</user-name>
 <password>password</password>
 <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
 <max-pool-size>30</max-pool-size>
 <blocking-timeout-millis>60000</blocking-timeout-millis>
 <autoReconnect>true</autoReconnect>
 <idle-timeout-minutes>15</idle-timeout-minutes>
 <prepared-statement-cache-size>100</prepared-statement-cache-size>
 <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
 <new-connection-sql>Select id from HCSOUser.eric</new-connection-sql>
 <check-valid-connection-sql>Select id from HCSOUser.eric</check-valid-connection-sql>
 <metadata>
 <type-mapping>MS SQLSERVER2000</type-mapping>
 </metadata>
 </local-tx-datasource>
In SQL Server, I created a user and a schema with the same name in a database. I created a simple table called "eric" with one column called "id". The user was given the appropriate default schema and given full permissions on the database and table.
In workbench, I added a JDBC query single row activity. I have configured the datasource as java:/HCSO and also tried java:HCSO. I then entered the query as "Select id from HCSOUser.eric" and hit test. Nothing appears in the results area. I see the following in the server.log:

Data look up into SQL

Hi, I have a turnkey set up of Adobe Livecycle 8 running with mySQL and JBOSS on Windows 2003 Server. I also have SQL MSDE installed on the same computer. The goal is to create a SQL data look up from livecycle into SQL. Unfortunately I am running into a couple of issues. In the LC process I have a query single row activity. When I try to enter something in the Datasource Name and try to test my query I get Exception: SQL_LF not bound. Cause: SQL_LF not bound SQL_LF is the data source name I was trying to get to work. How do I get the correct JNDI connection string? I looked online almost the entire day, and I still can't quite get it working. As I understand I need to create a data connection from jboss into SQL and then have livecycle use that data connection. In order to accomplish that I create mssql-ds.xml in C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\deploy directory with the following text: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <datasources> <local-tx-datasource> <jndi-name>SQL_LF</jndi-name> <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;instancename=lf;databaseName=test</connection- url> <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class> <user-name>XXXXXX</user-name> <password>XXXXXXX</password> </local-tx-datasource> </datasources> When I try to make SQL_LF a datasource name it doesn't recognize it. I also tried to enter every imaginable string into that Datasource Name field in LC and it still doesn't work. Is there a paper or a manual on a standard process to create a JNDI link in livecycle to a SQL database? Thanks in advance

Have you tried to put java:/SQL_LF or java/SQL_LF.
Also make sure you rebooted you JBoss after creating your *-ds.xml file.
Do you have any error in the log. I've seen instance where the ds file would not deploy properly when created with Notepad.

ODBC data sucessfully connects, but NEXT button doesn't work

In short I have a forum which sucessfully gets the first record from the DataConnection. The problem is I seem to only be able to get the first record and cannot navigate to other records.
I have added a NEXT button, set up for JavaScript, Client, on Click with the common xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.next(); code, however when previewing the form (still within LiveCycle) even though I can sucessfully pull the first record from my table, clicking the 'NEXT' button does nothing at all, not even an error.
Any suggestions on what I am missing?
Other Info:
-I am using a MS Access database (.mdb format) with the Microsoft Access Database driver.
-I tried using both User and System DSN's in windows which I am calling when setting up the Data Connection.
-When configuring my DSN's the tests always succeed (and I can call the first record).
-Setting up the Data Connection in Adobe seems to work and shows all of the possible fields in my table.
-I bind my fields to the form, preview it, and see the first record in my table.
-I can add many types of buttons that work, such as printing, emailing, or changing pages of the form, but anything related to database record navigation is not working.
-I am positive that when I call xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.next() that the 'DataConnection' name is matching exactly my actual Data connection.(seems to be a common problem for people)
-I've followed about 3 different tutorials exactly and they seem easy to go through, but when they add their Next button it works fine. Mine doesn't.
-I've tried starting from a new, blank project as well but cannot change records.
-I've even tried adding or removing the semicolon at the end of: xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.next();
What am I missing? Is there something potentially wrong with my data connection even though it seems to work?
Thanks.
-Mike

Today I did some troubleshooting. Instead of using MS Access I set up simple MySQL database with 3 text fields (no auto-incrementing fields). Again I was able to quickly connect my LiveCycle form to the MySQL ODBC data source and display the first record from the table but any buttons with click actions that run and javascript lines beginning with xfa.sourceSet.{Name of my data source in LC here}.* commands do not work at all.
I know my buttons work. I can run some xfa.host.messagebox("blah") commands to test that clicking the buttons triggers the javascript code, it's only the xfa.sourceSet.* lines that aren't working.
Now that I have even changed databases and ODBC drivers, what am I still doing wrong? Once I set up the DataConnection in LiveCycle I am then right clicking on it to select 'Generate fields' or clicking and dragging the fields from my DataConnection to the form. It displays the data, but why can't I work with it.
What am I doing wrong?
I am desperate.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES Error while Connecting to MYSQL ODBC Driver

Hi
I'm getting an strange error message when i try to connect a LC PDF form to
MYSQL DB using MySQL Connector /ODBC 3.51 Driver
Here is the complete detail how i was trying to build a connection
string :-
I Opened a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 Ver.9.0.0
Clicked on Data View Pallete --> New Data Connection --> selected OLEDB Database radio button --> Build a Connection string (clicked on build button) --> selected MS OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (the default selected option ) --> clicked on Next >> button --> Use connection string (radio button) --> Build connection string on clicking Build button --> Select Data Source windows opens --> Clicked on Machine Data Source tab --> created a new data source (with User Data Source) --> Selected the MySQL ODBC Driver (MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver) --> Clicked on next button and then Finish
A Connector/ ODBC 3.51.28 - Add Data Source Name window opens up which have the DSN connection details (DSN Name , Server , user , password , database).
I put all the default details
After this i got a error message saying that
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has encountered a problem and needs to
close. we are sorry for the inconvenience
I tried this number of time and was getting this error message every
time i try to put the DSN Detail and trying to connect to the DB. This
was really irritating.
Can somebody's what's the Issue . Is this a Resource Conflict or
something else
P.S :- I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 Ver.9.0.0 with Windows XP and MySQL
Connector /ODBC 3.51 and the DB Connection is working good for MS
Access( though i don't need MySQL Connector fot this ).
Any Help would be highly appreciated
Thanks Alok

Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP

I'm trying to set up a database of loan agreements, where users will submit a form through Acrobat and their information will be stored in a mySQL database. Later, they can go back and download the PDF, which will be repopulated with their data in the mySQL db.
I made the form in Livecycle Designer and submit the information through HTTP POST. I can easily get the information from the form into the database...my only problem is getting that information back out into the PDF.
What would allow me to write back to the PDF, preferably using PHP? What kind of syntax would that require?
Thanks!

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

LiveCycle and MySql

I am new to this product and I am not sure if it is what I need.
Here is the project:
The client chooses the type of contract he wants to purchase, the database puts his info in the contract and then he fills in his clients information. Purchases the contract and he can print it.
Is LiveCycle the product to put the data from the database into a pdf(the contract)? Can it email out the results?

Hi,
Yes, you can design a form in LC Designer, with data connections to a database. This can be set up to read from and write to the database.
Please be aware that LC Designer is just one component of a much broader data centric platform, which is now called Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform. See http://www.adobe.com/solutions/customer-experience/enterprise-platform/comparison.html for more information.
One aspect to also take into account, is what software the users will have to use the form. Acrobat? Or the free Reader?
If the user has Reader then they will ONLY be able to access the database if the form is Reader Enabled using LC Reader Extensions, which is a server component in the platform. See here for a summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to integrate the XML data received via email in to MySQL

Hi,
This is JK, my compnay is planning to adopt Adobe Livecycle Barcoded forms technology, We are planning to automate the Weekly report submission of the HR dept of my company, where the various employees from various branches will be submiting their weekly reports thru Barcoded forms via email and the data has to be fed in to a MySQL database for Analysis purpose.
The problem is, i have designed the form and tested it, when i fill out the form and submit it via email, i get a XML to the mentioneid email id, but is it possible to import the bulk amount of XML data received thru email to the MySQL database without using 3rd party XML Parser.
Does Adobe Livecycle supports any functionality where these data's after decoding or received thru email can directly be integrated in to MySQL.
Any Suggestions?
Regards,
JK

One thing that should be clear is that you do not need to purchase Reader Extensions to use Barcode Forms technology. Take a look at the 2 articles at the bottom of http://www.adobe.com/products/server/barcodedpaperforms/ they talk specifically about this issue.
However, if you do not get RE with your Barcoded Forms license your end users will not be able to save the form off-line or submit electronically (other than data-only by email). They will be able to fill-in and print the forms only.
By your post it sounds like you are getting Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms and you have also licensed the decoder.
The decoder itself works with a watched folder mechanism. So what you can do is create a small Java program that simply waits for decoded output from the output directory of the decoder and then populates your MySQL database. The code should be around a day to implement.
Here is the link to the deployment article that talks about the RE requirement: http://www.adobe.com/products/server/barcodedpaperforms/pdfs/deploying_2d_barcodedpdfform s.pdf
Your Java will basically do something like this (very incomplete sample)
public class theThred extends Thread {
public void start() {
public void run() {
while (true) {
checkTheDirectoryCodeHere();
gotSomethingWriteItHere();
sleep(foreSomeNumberOfMilliseconds);
public void checkTheDirectoryCodeHere() {
Directory dir = new Directory("thePath");

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Formulare kommen als *.xml Dateien zurück

Hallo zs,
ich habe mit LiveCycle Designer 8.0 Prof. ein Formular inkl. eines "per Email senden" Buttons erstellt.
Das Dokument läßt sich im Reader 9.1 problemlos öffnen und bearbeiten (Ausfüllen der Felder ist möglich).
Das ausgefüllte Formular läßt sich aber nicht lokal speichern.
1. Wie kann man dieses Problem lösen?
2. Wie erstelle ich einen Button mit der Option "Formular speichern"?
zu 2. gibt es eine kostenlose Erweiterung des Readers (Update o.ä.), die das Speichern zuläßt bzw. ermöglicht? Wenn ja, wie heißt das Tool und wo bekommt man es?
Wenn der User das ausgefüllte Formular über den Button "per Email senden" an die angegebene Emailadresse versenden möchte, geht dies nur als *.xml Datei.
3. Welche Optionen muss man wo einstellen, dass man ein ausgefülltes PDF File zurück bekommt? Oder funktioniert dies erst ab Version 9.0?
In der Hoffnung auf Eure Unterstützung, Grüße Ringo

Hallo Bernd,
vielen Dank für den Link. Hat mir echt weitergeholfen. Ist schwierig, bei begrenzter Arbeitszeit alle Foren zu durchsuchen, vor allem wenn man sich mit neuen Themen beschäftigt.
1 Problem weniger .
Leider weiß ich immer noch nicht, ob oder wie man über den Button "Formular Senden" das ausgefüllte PDF File versenden kann. Abspeichern & Einfügen ist kein Problem. Aber über den Button "Formular Senden"bekomme ich nur die Daten im xml Format. Das ist für unsere Anwendung unpraktisch, da mehrere interne Abteilungen mit dem Formular arbeiten sollen und nicht jeder Adope Acrobat zur Verfügung hat, sondern nur den Reader.
Gibt es eine Option unter Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 oder Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, die das Versenden des gesamten, ausgefüllten PDF-Formulars möglich macht (mit "Hilfe" des Senden Buttons)?
Viele Grüße, Ringo

Controlling XML output Livecycle Designer 8.0

Hello.
I am new to XML and somewhat new to LiveCycle Designer, however I have acclimated rather well.
Here is what I want to do:
1) Create a PDF fill-in-form (including various fields...text, numeric, radio buttons, and some FormCalc functions)
2) Create a Submit button that emails an XML file to the form administrator
3) Use MS Excel to import XML files into pre-mapped fields
Basically, I do not have server database support, and this is the best workaround (and most functional) I could come up with.
After mapping fields in Excel, I exported the *.xsd and created a new data connection within LiveCycle. Then, I linked the schema fields with the bindings - corrected any errors, and have tested the form (form1). I made the submit button - that's all good, too. When I import the XML into Excel - that's where I have a problem, and it's not an issue with Excel to my knowledge, but rather how the form generates the XML output.
For example, I have 25 fields that will be outputted via XML. My PDF form consists of 4 pages (8.5" x 11"). When I created the form and got to the end of the page, I "inserted new page" and went on my merry way. When I import the XML, Excel properly maps the fields, however, it does not import the info to a single row. What I have discovered is that since my PDF form consists of 4 pages (each bound to "sheet[*]"), the XML output looks like the following:
Example of the XML output from my form:
<form1>
<sheet>
<submissionID xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
>743</submissionID>
<reviewerID xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
>234</reviewerID>
<date xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
>24/01/2008</date>
</sheet>
<sheet>
<tag1>input</tag1>
<tag2>input</tag2>
</sheet>
</form1>
Wherever there is a "<form>" tag (hence a new page in my PDF document), Excel puts that data on a new column. All fields within form1 are imported and mapped to the correct field, however importing a single XML file will occur on 4 rows.
I bound each "page" as "sheet[*]" mostly because that is the only way I knew how to use FormCalc to do calculations from fields that occur at different places throughout the document.
So, I have tried to be as clear as possible, and would like suggestions/help as how to control the XML output from a LiveCycle document. If I am to modify the outputted XML and remove the multiple instances of <sheet> and </sheet> then Excel imports the data just fine and on a single row.
I would love some help on this rather specific problem. I guess it's a very basic issue that someone with experience could help.
Thank you so much!!
Jim

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??

LiveCycle Form Email a PDF with modified Body (GER)

Hallo
Habe ein Problem beim senden einer Mail mithilfe eines Buttons in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. Ich möchte bei click eine Mail abschicken welche es mir ermöglicht das PDF anzuhängen + den Body und den Betreff zu verändern.
Mein Versuch gelingt allerdings nur mit einer xml datei im Anhang. Mein Code dazu sieht so aus:
TopmostSubform.P1.LEITWEG.Schaltfläche1::click - (JavaScript, client)
var Mailto = "[email protected]";
var Betreff = "hallo";
var Nachricht = "Verteiler ergänzen\rBei F6-F12, HR CB ([email protected]) aus Verteiler löschen\rName MA im Betreff ergänzen\rAbsender nicht vergessen\rDiese Zeilen löschen\r\rWir bitten Sie, die entsprechenden Massnahmen einzuleiten und danken Ihnen für Ihre Bemühungen.\r\rFreundliche Grüsse";
var CC = "[email protected]";
var BCC = "";
var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + Betreff + "&Body=" + Nachricht + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: Mail,
bEmpty: true,
cSubmitAs: "XML"
Dies Funktioniert soweit auch, allerdings nur wenn cSubmitAs: "XML" das so ist. Wenn ich eine Pdf Endung möchte wird die Datei als .fdf File geschickt welches man nicht öffnen kann im Reader.
Ich habe es dann auf eine andere Weise versucht indem ich beim Button folgende Optionen genommen habe.
Kontrolltyp-->Absenden anstelle von Normal
AbsendenTab-->
Absenden an URL: mailto:[email protected]
senden als: PDF
Dies funktioniert allerdings auch nicht. Ich habe in Foren gelesen, das man irgendwie Usage Rechte hinzufügen muss beim AdobeReader damit das funktioniert. Ich habe allerdings nur den Adobe Reader IV zur verfügung und keinen Pro, und bei mir gibt es diese Optionen bei Speichern unter nicht gibt "enable additional features", bei mir gibt es nur speicher als, "word oder excel" und "text".
Anbei noch die Datei indem ich das mit den Usage Rechten noch bräuchte
Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe
Hoffe ich habe es nicht zu umständlich beschrieben
Gruss Sky

Thank you for responding.
I don't know much about Dreamweaver, but I did what you suggested. I used the "cross media export" button and exported the document as HXTML/Dreamweaver.
I then opened the file with Dreamweaver. I could see all my images so I just clicked on each one and did Insert/Hyperlink. I entered the URL (the images all link to other web pages) in the "Link" field and clicked Ok.
I'm not sure how I should export this file or if I've done everything I need to.
Again, my goal is to send this document in the body of an email to all of our clients. And the links within the file need to be active.
I'm attaching 2 files here. The first is the ID file with links in place. The 2nd is the DW file exported as XHTML.
Whatever anyone can do to help me would be so awfully appreciated. Thank you in advance for any support you can offer me!

Submitting Pdf form fields to a MySQL database via PhP

Hi there,
I have recently created a Pdf in Adobe LiveCycle which looks great, and I have added a submit button which is set up to send all the form data in HTML to a PhP file on the server side. The PhP file then collects the form data and inserts it into my MySQL database.
When I run this form from Adobe reader or Professional it works great and the new record is inserted in the database. However I am trying to embed the form into a HTML page, which again looks fine, and all other buttons i.e. Save As, Print work fine.
The submit button however is not working properly now. It inserts a new record into my database, but the fields are blank as if the form data has not been sent or received?
Can you possibly advise me where i'm going wrong.
Much appreciated
Cane

Hi Cane,
I'm relatively new to creating Adobe Forms but I'm looking to do exactly what you have set up, submitting the results to php which sends the results to a database. I don't like the responses being sent to a pdf response file then every so often you have to export to csv then import the results into a database....too tedious. Can you perhaps provide the code that goes behind the submit button and maybe the code that you use on the php/server side? Again, relatively new to this and don't know where to begin but if I can look at the code behind this it would make things a lot easier.
Thanks,
Ed
