1.5 years ago i created a solution for an export to Excel using Acrobat Pro.
But now i want to do the same in LiveCycle Designer ES2.
Can someone help me with the conversion of that scipt?
I don't know if this can be done in Livecycle.
Also, in the new livecycle form i have a table where the user can add a new row.
that's the most dificult part for me
The Acrobat solution was the folowing:
I've attached an empty text-file with the .xls extension to the PDF-form.
On a button i added a script like this:
var vFirstName = this.getField("firstname").value;
var vLastName = this.getField("lastname").value;
var vStreet = this.getField("street").value;
var vStreetNumber = this.getField("number").value;
var vPostalcode = this.getField("PC").value;
var vCity = this.getField("city").value;
var vdistance = this.getField("distance").value;
var vDate = this.getField("date").value;
var vStartTime = this.getField("starttime").value;
var vEndTime = this.getField("endtime").value;
// check acrobat version
if (app.viewerVersion >= 7){
// get file
var oFile = this.getDataObjectContents("export.xls");
// convert the file to string
var vFile = util.stringFromStream(oFile, "utf-8");
// formatting data
var vText =
"Name of applicant\t" + vFirstName + "\t" + vLastName + "\r\n" +
"Address\t" + vStreet + " " + vStreetNumber + "\r\n\t" + vPostalcode + "\t" + vCity + "\r\n" +
"traveling expenses" + "\t" + vDate+ "\t" + vStartTime + "\t" + vEndTime + "\t" + vdistance;
// convert data to string
var oFile = util.streamFromString(vText, "utf-8");
// Overwrite the embedded file
this.setDataObjectContents("export.xls", oFile);
// Open file
this.exportDataObject({cName: "export.xls", nLaunch: 1});
}
else {
app.alert("Acrobat 7.0 or later is required!")
}
