easy way to fill an XFA form using Excel VBA ?

Avatar

Level 2

All:

Need help to auto-fill and auto-save PDFs using VBA or some other means.

I have created an XFA form using LiveCycle ES ( v8 ) with a few fields.

What I need to do is

  1. Open the blank PDF form
  2. Update 3 fields
  3. Save the PDF with a new name

My Excel VBA code so far ( ** Copied from another post ).

Sub rxOpenPDF_UpdateFields()

    Dim pdfApp As Acrobat.AcroApp, pdfPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc, jso As Object

    Dim str1$, bolOpen As Boolean, strFile$

   

    Set pdfApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")

    Set pdfPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")

    bolOpen = pdfPDDoc.Open("C:\test.PDF")

    Set jso = pdfPDDoc.GetJSObject

    str1 = jso.getfield("Account_Name").Value

    pdfApp.Exit

    Set pdfApp = Nothing

    Set pdfPDDoc = nothing

    Set jso = Nothing

   

End Sub

Excel is exiting ( cannot recover ) on the pdfPDDoc.Open statement

Any help will be very appreciated

I am on Windows XP,

In VBA, I have created Tool References to [Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library]

Downloaded the Acrobat v9 SDK but was lost trying to locate any help for simple VBA.
