[LiveCycle Designer] Send Field Value with FDF Response

[Dan_NY]

Hiya. I'm trying to send two FDF responses, a status message and a field/pair value, from a PHP script that has processed a HTTP POST. The status message is sent to the form successfully, but the field value is not sent to a form created in LiveCycle Designer (ES4 Version 11). Here's what I have:

<?php
header('Content-type: application/vnd.fdf');
// read and store the data however you want
// reply with some FDF data
echo <<<RESPONSE
%FDF-1.2
1 0 obj
<< /FDF <<
/Status (Wham bam! Journal data sent electronically. Save a copy of this PDF for your records.) 
/Fields [ <</T(batchnum)/V(testt)>> ]
>>
>>
endobj
trailer
<< /Root 1 0 R >>
%%EOF
RESPONSE;
?>
<?php

I think I have tried the gamut, removed "!", "copy", "for" from the status message; adding quotes, single and double, as well as ``; spacing; changing and verifying field names; send only the /Status and sending only /Fields (btw no errors while is still not sent); and on. Additionally, the above PHP code works perfectly, sending both status and fields, on a form created in Acrobat Pro XI. But no success in LiveCycle where I need the form created to dynamically manage rows and such. Ideas? Anyone?

It looks like the FDF you've written was designed for an AcroForm. You can still use a FDF on a XFA form, but it has to be done a bit differently. Use JavaScipt inside the FDF to set your fields. E.g.:

%FDF-1.2
1 0 obj
<<
/FDF
<<
/JavaScript << /After (FieldIWantTomodify.rawValue = ("My new value");) >>
>>
>>
endobj
trailer
<<
/Root 1 0 R
>>
%%EOF

Yep. Yep. Thanks! Am I missing something?

[Dan_NY]

Above does not work. Any other suggestions?

Did you change the JavaScript to update your fields?

[Dan_NY]

java in the pdf??

[jnicholas330]

No, the JavaScript in the FDF.

Replaced my code with yours and updated with my fieldname. Tried formatting field name various ways. No luck. assort error codes include  field name not defined, expecting ;
