possibility to give a pdf a variable when opening?

[Former Community Member]

Is it possible to give a PDF a variable. The problem is:



I want to call a pdf with a url from webbrowser. When it opens it should import a xfdf or xml-file. I'm searching for a way to tell the pdf which file to import. I thought about a param in the url but I think it's not possible. Is it possible to put a javascript in an pdf which can read a cookie in which the path to the xml-file is? Is there another way to tell a pdf file in the moment when it is opend which xml file it should import??

Try the following to capture the URL and then build your logic based on the value.

var cURL

cURL = this.baseURL

xfa.host.messageBox(cURL)



this is a JavaScript function may used in form:ready event. If you get the value displayed you can save it and use. I have no similar environment to test this myself. Please let me know how that works.



Good Luck,
