Question : Submitting PDF form data to access database
|
|
I know this question has been answered. I'm still lost.
I have a huge project to work on that involves submitting data from a PDF document to an Access database.
I know how to create an HTML form and have it submit to an Access database. That would be so much easier but that's not why my boss wants.
I've created a form and uploaded it to the web server.
I've created a database and and uploaded it to the web server. The field names match those in the PDF form.
I've read that you can treat it like you do an HTML form but I'd love to see samples because I just don't get it.
I understand that you have the submit button on the PDF form directed to an HTML URL, but what kind of code is supposed to be on that HTML document?
I know HTML & ASP.

It needs to submit to an ASP page, but I think there's a form piece for PDF that also needs to be there. Check Adobe's web site, look for FDF. My understanding is that it's a sort of connector between the PDF form info and the processing page.
If you haven't posted this in the Acrobat section, put a 0 pt question there with a link to this one. That will get it looked at by the PDF wizards there.
Also check out www.pdfzone.com and see if you can find any help there.
