You will need a submit button on the form and you can put the URL for your servlet in the "Submit To URL" field on the Submit tab of the Field Palette.

Hi,

As pguerett have said, you'll need submit button with URL inside.

Required version is Adobe Reader 6.0.2 or later so there will be no problem if you're using 8 or above.

Restriction will be that from Adobe Reader, you can only define XML data or HTTP post.

For other connections, you will need some extra server software "Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions"

In the servlet side, HTTP post will be just like other HTTP post, and for XML data you can find the data in request's inputstream,

Thanks friends,

I have also added some javascript in PDF.

I pass some parameters throgh url to PDF and then display this parameters in PDF fields .

Javascript is as follows :

var

sURL = event.target.URL;

var

nRequestStart = sURL.indexOf("?");

if

(nRequestStart > 0)

{

var sRequest = sURL.substr(nRequestStart + 1);

this.rawValue

= sRequest;

var aRequests = new Array();

aRequests

= sRequest.split("?");

this.rawValue

=decodeURI(decodeURIComponent(aRequests[0].substr(7)));

}

This code work well in adobe reader and acrobat also (some user use acobat).

but now when I user this  HTTP button , form works well in abode reader

but show soem alert message in acrobat 7.0 pro such as

Invalide enumerated value:urlencoded

The fault occurred on line 626

After this message pdf get open , but submit only null values to servlet.

Is that required any onther settings on abode acrobat ??

Thanks

Hi,

It seems that theres a little difference between ver. 7 and 8.

I never tried Acrobat 7 or 8 but I found following post which might be the same issue.

Hi,

1. Can you please tell me how should I show the xml in JSP? Or in other words, how can I retreive the submitted XML in my jsp?

2. What javascript should I write in form's presubmit event so that I can see the whole xml that is going to be submitted?

Thanks!

Hi,

I usually use asp and not familier with the jsp's, but it should be pretty much the same.

In the LCD,

1. use normal button and

2. set property "Control type" to submit,

3. put the URL that you are connecting to "submit" tab's "Submit to URL" box,

4. select "XML" for "submit as" combo

then on servlet side, you should find the xml data at "response.inputstream" or something similar in JSP command.

to see the XML inside the PDF using the Javascript, use following snipet,

xfa.datasets.data.saveXML("pretty");
