Hi All,



I am a new bie developing adobe forms. I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer 8 & has adobe reader 8.



I am trying to develop adobe forms with web service. The web service

WSDL location is :- http://www.webservicex.net/uklocation.asmx?wsdl



I have created a new dataconnection with the above URL, drag & drop fields & button onto the form & save the form.



when I open the PDF on my local machine, enter the post code and push button, nothing happens. no error/warning message.



I also downloaded a web service example PDF from http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/tips/index.html



This form also has button to execute a web service but again nothing happens?



Any clues why this is happening? I turned off my firewall thinking it might be blocking but no joy 😞



Please help!



Thanks,

Pankaj

Are you using Reader? If so the form must be Reader Extended to allow Reader to make a Web service call. Acrobat will allow it without Reader Extensions. I tried that wsdl in Acrobat and it worked fine.
