  filling out a pdf form with html javascript ?  genki at 18:45 on Monday, May 21, 2007
 

Hi all,

I am building a web application in VB ASP.Net2.0 and Javascript, and have it mostly working. I would like to be able to add functionality so that I can load up a pdf file from the application and auto-complete a few fields (name, phone number etc), returening a read-only pdf file. The pdf file I want to produce is mostly static with only a handful of fields I would want completing by the code. I already have the form built in Adobe Designer.

What I can't figure out is how to transfer the data from the web app into the pdf form.

- can I get the html javascript to pass a string to the pdf file so the pdf javascript can decode it ?

- can I parse together an xml string from html javascript and get the form completed from that ?

- if I can't do it from js, can I do it from asp ?

Have done a lot of googling to try to find this out, but no luck. I know that pdf files can support js, but documentation is, to say the least, limited.

Cheers, appreciate your help
