Actual Question:
With Google, I did a very very long search on how to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design Interactive/Dynamic Forms, and publish them to the IIS Server and use ASP.NET to populate such forms with field values from back-end Database such as SQL Server.
We are designing and implementing Electronic Forms ASP.NET Application that must detect the user currently logged in to the Windows Intranet (under IIS), and should perform a Look-up to the Back-End Database to extract the User Related Data and Populate the Form Fields to start the Form Processing.
We have the following facts:
1. The forms will be designed using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1.
2. We will NOT use Adobe LiveCycle Forms since it is not on our budget yet.
3. The users will have the required Adobe Acrobat version on the Client PC.
In a typical scenario, the user would go through these steps:
1. The user logs on to the Intranet using his Windows Login ID and Password. Then he starts the APS.NET Application for Forms Processing.
2. He will request a form to fill. The form may be populated with sensitive information such as Salary and only the requesting user must be able to see his Salary on any form.
3. On the server side, the system will use the User Windows ID to perform a query against the Back-End Database and generate the required XML Data.
4. The system must then link/merge the generated XML Data with the requested form and render (post) the form back to the user for further printing and/or submitting via email.
That's it !
I found an add-in product "Adobe LiveCycle® Designer add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET" but it only wraps XPD forms in Visual Studio Component which is not of a great help to my requirements.
If any one could give me any hint on how to implement such requirements.
I truly appreciate any help.
Tarek.
