Migration from FDF Toolkit to LiveCycle

Avatar

Level 1

Hello,

I currently have a client who uses the FDF Toolkit to create FDF files to populate PDF forms from a database.  They are using a very old version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and would like to move forward.  From what I understand, LiveCycle is the recommended solution, however, I have been unable to clearly understand the migration path.  Do I want to go with XFA or XML or ?  Is there an example that I can take a look at?  Are there any specific dll's that I will need?  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks...

I have a more specific request that I hope someone can help me with.  We currently use the

FDFACX.dll to communicate with a PDF document.  I believe that this is part of the FDF toolkit.  Has support been dropped for this component?  If so, how can I access a PDF document to programatically read the field names from within the document?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
