  • This is a question that seems to come up consistently.  But there isn't a built-in or automatic way to link fields in different forms within a package.  It's too bad because it's a great idea that Adobe should have been on several versions ago. Your idea of moving data from the parent PDF into the e...

  • You can't put a variable directly into an URL.  The URL has to be rebuilt dynamically in a script.  In a way very similar to how you are modifying the email URL.  Here are some articles on the topic.http://acrobatusers.com/search/google/submit?query=submit&cx=010702214422959725198:mrw4k197ftq&cof=FO...

  • Very good stuff!!  Do you know if this only works on initialization.  I wrote similar code for modifying the template at runtime and it threw a security exception.  But I was able to add event nodes with exactly the same code to the form model, not that it did any good.  I could see the newly added ...

  • Yes, maybe.  You've got a complex series of actions there, and whether or not they can be done depends on the details.First, there is a PostSubmit event, so yes, there is a place to put the code that will implement these operations.Next, if the form is Enabled for Save in Reader then it can be saved...

  • There is a very simple way to pass info to a server script.  Add it to a query string in the URL.  Use JavaScript on the submit button in the PDF to grab the email from a form field and then paste it onto the end of the URL.  The submitted data is in the Body of the HTTPRequest, a query string doesn...

  • The "listen" property is a good find.  I didn't know that one. Seems like it could be a solution.   And yes, I did mean the ES2 Macros.  Seems that if you need to add a feature to a lot of fields at once, then this would be a good way to do it.Thom Parker The source for PDF Scripting Info pdfscripti...

  • Unfortunately the XFA event structure is mostly fixed.  Events can't be added at runtime like it's done in many other JavaScript models.  That's not to say that you can't dynamically create the event structure in the Form model using the XFA node operations. You can.  It's just that the model won't ...

  • Manually placing 2500 fields must be a pain in the butt as well.  I have a suggestion that will make things easier.  Create one field with all the code you need for navigating.  Then place this field in repeatable subforms in such a way that the 50x50 array is automatically built.  The code would of...

  • Here's a tool that generates ASP.NET code for doing the submit redirect to email:http://www.nk-inc.com/software/pdfemail.net/It's listed as a developer tool so I'm not sure how much programing you'll have to do to make it work.But these guys also do development so I'm sure they could easily build yo...

  • Actually I've already done that in my previous posts.  I know that there are some scripts floating around out there for doing this sort of thing, but they probably aren't exactly what you want and are mostly for developers who can modify them for their own use.  I also pointed you to a form data ser...
