Hello Tarek. Thank you for taking the time out to reply.
I'm having trouble loading data back into a PDF created by LiveCycle designer (from Acrobat X pro). I've got no trouble pulling data out. The server is IIS and the code is classic ASP. I've read every post and followed all the examples thus far in this great thread.
Here's what I've done. I've included my code too just in case someone else stumbles this way.
1) In LC create a blank PDF. Create a simple XML file then create a data connection to the XML file. Create text box elements for each field in the XML. Include an HTTP submit button pointing to an ASP page we'll call
page1. Save the PDF. I've done it this way to ensure that I didn't mess up the naming of the form fields.
2) Page1.asp uses the ASP request object to read the form collection coming in from the PDF. It creates an HTML form with input boxes for each element so I can change the values before I pass them onto the next page. This
works just fine.
<%
response.write "<form name='mainForm' id='mainForm' method='post' action='createXDP.asp'><code><table><thead><tr><th>Field</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody>"
for each oObject in request.Form
response.write "<tr><td>" & oObject & "</td><td><input type='text' name='" & oObject & "' value='" & request.form(oObject) & "' /></td></tr>"
next
set oObject=nothing
response.write "</tbody></table></code><br/><input type='submit' value='Show PDF again' /></form>"
%>
3) Page1.asp is submitted to the next ASP page, 'createXDP.asp'. This generates the XDP string as per examples in this thread.
<%
txtName = trim(request.form("txtName"))
txtCCV = trim(request.form("txtCCV"))
txtCardNumber = trim(request.form("txtCardNumber"))
txtExpires = trim(request.form("txtExpires"))
xdp = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>"
'COMMENTxdp = xdp & "<?xfa generator=""XFA2_0"" APIVersion=""2.2.5028.0""?>"

xdp = xdp & "<pdf href=""http://localhost/_andy/pdf/xdp/testXDP.pdf"" xmlns=""http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"" />"
xdp = xdp & "</xdp:xdp>"
response.contentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
response.write xdp
Response.Flush
Response.End
