PDF binding to MySQL databse - how is it done?

How can I bind data entered in to a Dynamic PDF form to reside in a MySQL database. I seem not able to build a connection.
So here are the steps I follow:
Binding / New Connection / Name: testdata ; Description: OLEDB database / Connection String: build: SQL Native Client / Data Source: location of the SQL database (.mwb) ; Log on to server: localhost
But when I test the connection I get an initialization error and login time out.
So my question is:  How do you connect the PDF fields to a MySQL database ? and what am I doing wrong ? Is it a feasable process to bind also check boxes and other fields to a database ? How would you bind data dynamically - say if I choose a certain field from a dropdown menu, certain other fields will populate via the database ?
Thanks again for all help and insight.

PS I attached a sample form (not yet completely integrated to accept certain data) and a sample MySQL database (no data inside).

DB and PDF forms are on one machine (local). Software is Access 2007 (.accdb), Acrobat Pro 9 (.pdf), File was saved as static.
But I am not sure on the dialoge ( Acrobat vs. Windows). I used the MS Access 2007 connector. Connection checks out fine and so that the link,
since I can see and use the fields that were built in Access. Hence I use those fields, where the biding is automated for me.
When I save the form, there are no errors or warnings listed in LifeCycle designer - bottom window.
Just when opening the file in Adobe, it mentions that the access is somehow prohibited. Also, how does one send the data
to access once al the fields are filled out. I couldn't create or find a button for that?
Again, thanks for your help and input.
cheers

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    If you want to create a link to a PDF file so that you can share that file, you can use Adobe Send. Log on to https://cloud.acrobat.com with your Adobe ID and password, and then click Send. Click Select Files to Send, and then navigate to the PDF file. Select Create Anonymous Link, and then click Create Link.

    After installing a new motherboard, my imac opens pdf files with colorsync.  How do I reset it to open them with Adobe?

    That makes sense Dennis.  I did that but was unable to find Adobe Reader in my Applications folder.  Of note though is that after a restart, the problem seems to have gone away.  So, disaster averted.  Thanks for responding though.  It's nice to have help on this stuff.

  • Web based PDF Doc question - not sure how to describe

    My manager has asked that I research a way to change a web based pdf file to allow fellow co-workers to either download it has a whole, or just sections of it.  I've tried looked into bookmarks and portfolio, but it just doesn't seem to do what he requires.

    You should have a Binder for your complete PDF and separate section files individually constructed for each chapter or section
    that should be available as a portion of the whole.  So, in essence you would create individual PDF's first then collect
    them into a single PDF Binder (not a Portfolio)

  • Mysql Java how?

    Hello, I wonder what what would be the best solution to have a Java application access a mysql database over the internet? I am a beginner, so please bear with me. I tried using a MM.Mysql driver from http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/ but couldn't get it to work. Can I use servlets? I have full control over the mysql server.
    Thanks,

    Compiling works fine, but executing always brings this exeption. Any ideas?
