PHP and PDF Forms Data????

i would like to send the fields of a PDF to a PHP script hosted on my web server. (This can by configuring
SUBMIT to send the form fields to a URL - ie: www.test.com/parse.php)
this works, but i am unable to access any of the form fields inside the PHP script.
are there any examples of how to do this? perhaps there is some undocumented
environment variable that can give me a handle to the data structures that contain
the form field data.
help please!!!

I think that the license may allow you to submit the data and create a new PDF with that data for use by the user. Be sure to read the license carefully. The tools to do this would be the FDF Toolkit for AcroForms (not those from Designer). You can probably do the same thing with Designer. In any case, you are probably talking about some programming.

Is there a way to merge Static PDF files and PDF Forms

Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees
will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all
have a standard signature block. We have prototyped using LiveCycle
Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into
Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is
pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per
quarter.
The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app (stored
as BLOBs) and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. Posted
data goes back into database.
Here is the issue:
Does anyone know any way to use some combination of cfpdf /
cfpdfform / cfdocument that will allow us to create ONE generic
signature block form, 1200 static PDF files, and merge them on the
fly?
<cfdocument> apparently does not allow PDF data to be
included with a <cfpdfform>, as I have tried outputting PDF
variables, toBinary(PDF variable), PDF served by <cfcontent>
and various other combinations.
(If the non-form data were HTML, we could easily output in a
<cfdocumentsection> of the cfdocument, and add the
<cfpdfform source="#genericForm#" action="populate"> and be
done with it. But, we can't.)
<cfpdf action="merge"> with a combination of a static
PDF file and a populated form results in a flattend PDF file with
no form data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and
regular PDF documents use a different schema. And, this may
prohibit what we want to do.
If anyone has experience with CF8 PDFs and PDF forms, or has
any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to
say, this is a six month project that must be live at the end
November.
Thanks!

As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

Submit pdf form data to sql database

Where I can find detailed information on the process of sending data from pdf form stored on the website to the sql database stored on web server ?? Where I can find some samples I could use to build my form and related script(s).
Thanks for advice.
Tony

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I can not retrieve your
attachments, so please send them by email. Thank you.
What does it mean that DSN has to be set up on each machine which will run
the form ??? Does it mean for each person who will use the form ?? or
rather once on the server where the form is hosted ??? It will be a bit
difficult to use if it will have to be installed on each user computers as
some users may not be happy to do it. If this is the case do you have any
solution you would recommend which will collect the data from the form
without asking users to do anything special on their computers ????

submit pdf form data to sql database
If you want the form to contact the DB directly you will have to set up a
DSN on each of the machines that will run the form. Note that this wil
only work on Windows machines. Also the form must be launched for the
script to run (you mentioned the PDF was stored on the web server). I have
some samples that show how to deal with a DB but the attachments do not
seem to be working correctly on the forum yet. If you cannot retrieve them
post your email and I will email them to you directly.

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

Is ADS and PDF forms required for an upgrade to ECC 6.0 for US Payroll?

We're currently on SAP 4.7 for US Payroll, but are working on an upgrade to ECC 6.0. I'm looking for a clear answer to whether or not we have to move to Adobe Document Services and PDF forms with our upgrade. I've heard from several sources that SAP is not providing updates to SAPscript forms in ECC 6.0 and will only make updates to PDF based tax reporter forms going forward. Can anyone comfirm that is the case?
Thanks in advance,
-Nick

Hi
This is Srinivasa Rao Pandiri... I have an add on question to Nick. We currently upgraded our SAP from 4.6 C to ECC6.0. WE want to use existing PDF forms provided by SAP. To use the existing forms.. without any changes... Do we need ADS? or is there anyway we can use them? withou ADS installed?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

How to get pdf form data into a php code?

I have created one pdf form ,that helps to fill application form online.....
I tried to access the field values using php code ($_REQUEST) but itz not taking any field values then i searched everywer to find solution but all are telling the same .then i got one link for demo of simple submit form , here is the demo http://blogs.adobe.com/stevex/files/SimpleSubmitSample.pdf but this demo is not working in my system,not getting values from pdf ........................Is there any setting to do inorder to get pdf form field values in PHP
can any one help me??

I never had this problem so obviously something needs tweaking. First thing to test is to leave the PDF out of the picture - check if the variables are received when performing a HTTP POST from another web page to your script. If this works, the next step would be to have your script do a phpinfo(); or print_r($_POST); and submit from your PDF. This in order to determine what really is sent from the client.
Now you should be able to pinpoint your problem.

PHP Code & PDF Forms

Hello-
First if this has been answered already I'm sorry as I have not yet located this answer to these questions (or they are half answered)
1) Can I build a PDF form that on submit it will upload to a server (the entire pdf file) using PHP code? If so please tell me the best way to accomplish this as I want any user to fill out the pdf and then submit to a specific location of a folder on my site.
2) I know that Adobe Reader v. 6 will not allow people to submit electronically - but am I correct that version 7 to the lastest will allow them to submit the form (via email or FTP if possible)? I keep finding yes/no. I am aware of Adobe Reader Usage Rights that has to be assigned.
Thanks in Advance
-Brit

The answer to question 1 is yes, assuming the form is Reader Extended by a LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server (the Extended Usage Rights in Acrobat are not sufficient).
The answer to 2 is yes and no. By e-mail, as long as the user has a client configured through MAPI (such as Outlook on Windows) you can automate the attaching to an e-mail (but not sending - the user still needs to click send). If the user uses a web client like GMail, then no, that can't be automated. And Acrobat does not have built-in FTP functionality.

I have a html web form and a php code that works fine in my older website.

    <p class="style7 style6">“I have been working with Owen Dawson for the past 7 years. During that time my swing has dramatically changed and improved. This has happened through Owen's drills and use of video. It is because of these techniques, that I understand how to hit good shots but just as importantly why I hit a shot poorly. I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to work with Owen and would highly recommend him. ” <strong>Sam Young - Country Club of Maryland - 2009 Men's Club Champion </strong></p>
    <p class="style2">.............................................</p>
    <p class="style7 style6">“Owen does two things particularly well, in my opinion. First, he is a master of recording technology, and it really helps me to see what I need correcting, and what the new move needs to be. Second, Owen knows what the best next step should be in your own journey to a better swing. I have taken one or two lessons from Owen each year for the last three or four years – one relatively small step at a time, and then worked on grooving that step. In that period, my index has dropped about 8 strokes, and in 2007 I won the Club’s “Most Improved Player” award. Kudos to Owen!”</p>

    <p class="style6 style9">“I have been working with Owen Dawson for the past 7 years. During that time my swing has dramatically changed and improved. This has happened through Owen's drills and use of video. It is because of these techniques, that I understand how to hit good shots but just as importantly why I hit a shot poorly. I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to work with Owen and would highly recommend him. ” <strong>Sam Young - Country Club of Maryland - 2009 Men's Club Champion </strong></p>
    <p class="style2">.............................................</p>
    <p class="style6 style9">“Owen does two things particularly well, in my opinion. First, he is a master of recording technology, and it really helps me to see what I need correcting, and what the new move needs to be. Second, Owen knows what the best next step should be in your own journey to a better swing. I have taken one or two lessons from Owen each year for the last three or four years – one relatively small step at a time, and then worked on grooving that step. In that period, my index has dropped about 8 strokes, and in 2007 I won the Club’s “Most Improved Player” award. Kudos to Owen!”</p>

Submit PDF form data IMS database.

Hello
I have developed a pdf form using livecycle designer and it has a submit button in it. The form is published to our organization website. What we would like to do is, when the user opens and fills up the pdf form either on web browser / or after downloading to their desktop, users should be able to post the data in the form directly into our IMS database. Our users are not connected to our organization network but just to the internet.
I understand that we need to use a Submit button with 'Submit As' property set to XML. IMS connect is an IBM interface that would read this xml and pass the data to the database. But, what I would like to know is the architecture and how the components communicate here. i.e. for our design document.
I am assuming that we would need to lay out these components on the diagram but not very sure of the order in which the data is flowing from client to the database.
1. Web browser
2. Internet Connection
3. Webserver (this is where the org. website is and the form is located on the website)
4. LiveCycle ES sitting on an application server?
5. Database tier.
Appreciate if anyone could tell me exactly the steps and the data flow.

You cannot use a submit button to invoke a web service. You woudl create your web service to recieve a single parameter (the XML that represents the data on your form). Then create a hidden field (to hold the data) and bind the input parameter to that field. Now using a regular button, add code that will take the data that is in the data dom and dump it into your hidden field:
HiddenFieldName.rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.saveXML("pretty")
Make sure the your hidden field is set for multiline. Now in the next line of code we need to invoke the web service. You can use the invokeBtn supplied by the DataConenction wizard (dropped on your form of course). You can use the command:
invokeBtn.execEvent("click");
This will send the data in the hidden field to the web service. You can code your web service to return a string that indicates that the data was recieved. You can bind that output parameter to another hidden field. Once the web service executes then that field will hold the message string. Now you can put up a message box to the user:
app.alert(hiddenfieldname.rawValue);
When I talk about hidden fields I mean to make the presence invisible not hidden.
Make sense?

How do I submit a form as e-mail in xml and pdf form?

Hi,
can I set up the submit button to send the form data as xml and also include a copy of the filled out pdf-form?
I can make it work whith either xml-file or pdf-form, but not both at the same time.
Hope anyone can help.

I know I can import data to a blank form in Acrobat Pro. Is it possible to call Acrobat from the command prompt?
It would be really fine, if we could make Acrobat work together with our in house systems. Or is there another way to import data to a blank form?
As I see it LiveCycle Forms is not an option, because the form data will be handled in a closed enviroment.

Submitted PDF form data are empty

I created a simple PDF form using Acrobat X Pro that containing one textbox ("txtName") and one button ("btnSubmit"). The button's action is set to "Submit a form" and the URL is set to an asp.net generic handler ("PdfFormHandler.ashx").
When I open the PDF in browser and fill in the textbox and click on submit button, the form submitted. But on the server side, "txtName" is always empty. There are no errors but just missing the submitted data. the server side code is:
public class PdfFormHandler : IHttpHandler
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        if (context.Request.RequestType == "POST")
            var name = context.Request.Form["txtName"];
            context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            context.Response.Write("Hello " + name);
    public bool IsReusable
        get
            return false;
I should see "Hello " and then a name. But since it's not able to retrieve "txtName", it only prints "Hello".
i found what the problem is and i posted the answer here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10885969/adobe-pdf-form-submitted-but-request-form-coll ection-is-empty

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

Exporting pdf form data to a web server via Submit Button

Hi
I am working on a project where a pdf form is dynamically filled by user information. So, when the user click Print Application on the web, it will create a pdf with form data and download to the user computer.
After that, users will have to add more data (since not all user data is captured). Then, after that I'll want user to hit the Submit button so that the filled pdf form is exported as an xml file to a folder on the web server.
I've been looking at the forum. There is a solution where I add a submit button on the form and add a submit form action with the link to localhost since I'm trying to test it out on my local server. But I keep getting the security certificate exception. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.0. , Max OS x and Firefox. My question is that is there a way for user to just click submit button and the pdf is exported as xml to the server? Does it require additional scripting language?

HI again,
I want to have a pdf fillable form opened on a link.Once user has entered data, the user clicks a button(or some action to invoke saving). At this point I want the filled pdf file to be saved on a certain directory.
How can save a filled pdf form in pdf format on a certain directory?
Is it possible to dynamically give the final pdf a name so that it doesnt overwrite everytime it saves the file?

Submit PDF form data to URL without submit button

Our client use LiveCycle Designer to design PDF forms. We've an ASP.Net Web form application, where they want us to embed the PDF form as part of our Data Entry Form. The Entry form has a Save button. And we want to save all the entry form entries (including the PDF form) in the Save button click.
The client PC will have adobe reader installed, so I guess we can embed the PDF form easily. I know PDF form can have Submit button and can submit data (XML) to a URL. But client does not want to place a separate Submit button in the PDF as the entry form has a "Save" button.
Do you have any suggestion? If I'm posting in wrong place or an already answered question I apologize earnestly and please guide me.

Check out the following:

You can download the open source edition for free:

Or search for itextsharp on your favorite search engine
Note: If you are able to use Static XFA forms or Acrobat PDFs you are able to parse and merge the submissions. If you are saving "Save As" a dynamic XFA PDF in LiveCycle, then your options are limited.

Submitting PDF form data

In the following discussion from last year: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/988633?tstart=0
it's stated that the only type of submit form action that's supported is where the entire PDF is sent via email. This isn't really a submit though, it's just initiating an email and attaching the form. What I would like is to be able to set up a form to submit to a web server, either the entire PDF or just the form data. This is in fact allowed for PDF forms (Acroforms) that have been distributed through the FormsCentral service (which was added after that discussion linked to above), and when using the various desktop versions of course. The button action for a FormsCentral PDF form uses the submitForm JavaScript method and submits the form data as "HTML", but when I try to do the same thing with a form I create, it simply doesn't work. So either there's some proprietary magic that's enabled for use only with FormsCentral distributed forms, or everything I've tried is somehow wrong. Can anyone from the Reader development team or anyone else provide some clues?
I noticed that when I replaced the URL in the submitForm statement in a FormsCentral-enabled PDF form, the form still submitted to FormsCentral, probably due to the metadata that's also set when a PDF is distributed via FormsCentral, so there is some sort of magic going on...
Thanks!

If the ability to submit is limited to FormsCentral-enabled forms, it would be interesting to know why such a restriction is in place. Reader for Win/Mac has been able to submit form data (as "HTML", FDF and later XFDF and PDF) since forms were first introduced with version 3. What is the justification for this restriction on iOS?
