PDF Form TO database

[jduawa]

I would like to take PDF form fields and when the user hits the submit button on the PDF form, submit those fields to a DB, does anyone have any experience with this??
I did a keyword search on this forum and came up with nothing
Thanks

have no idea for your problem but if you try searching in the coldfusion forum for "coldfusion" with the keyword search you wont find nothing ether ! This search engine is a 0 result hardcoded engine !

have you tried submiting your form to a valid-form.cfm to see if you are able to resolve your var ?

I just started this project so wanted to see if there was anything out there already, why reinvent the wheel.
I did a search on PDF to database and returned 0 results
thanks

Interesting... the keyword search was working just fine a couple days ago.

Anyway... have you looked at

http://adobedoc.kanisasolution.com/Acrobat5/c09pf25.htm

?

in particular, the Defining CGI Export Values section.

It would seem like, if everything is setup correctly in the PDF, the form field data would be submitted via standard CGI... which means, if the PDF form submitted to a .CFM page, the fields would be accessible via the FORM. or URL. structure, depending on the method PDFs use to submit.


Hope it helps,

i was playing around with adobe and found that you can submit the form as html form variables and tell it to go to a specific html page that can handle the processing of the form fields.

You need to go to

http://www.cfcomet.com

and look at the PDF heading. Purchasing ActivePDF is also an option.
