How to automatically saved a pdf form into a network folder using a submit button

Feb 11, 2011 1:20 PM

Good evening to everyone,

 

I'm more than a beginner on adobe development reason why I would like to apologize first if my questions are dumbs. :-(

 

I would like to know if 'Adobe 9 Professional Extended' has the possibility to put some code into a submit button in order for the pdf form to be saved with a unique name and into a Network folder located into an Encryption Server where we handle our PII. Is it? Over the past two weeks I've been digging into the documentation but I'm unable to find something that will help me to accomplish our headquarters requirements.

 

If there is no possibility, is there any programming language that adobe accepts in order to configure a piece of code that will store the file into a network folder? Perhaps VB or C-SHARP?

 

Whatever feedback anyone can give, I deeply appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

    Across the menu bar under FORMS should be an option to "Distribute Form".  This option will take you into LiveCycle Designer.  LiveCycle Dsigner will allow you create scripts in either JavaScript or FormCalc.

    Thanks for the reply Mr. Chaney!

     

    I do have more questions based on your recomendation.

     

    From my understanding, JavaScript or FormCalc will be my only options, right? If that's the case, how can a scripting language (client server side) allow me to transfer automatic saved files into a Network folder within my company intranet? I downloaded the Scripting Basic manual and all the scenarios and code are client server side such as, changing background color, add effects to a button and so on.

     

    I did find a command under FormCalc called "PUT" can I use this command to transfer a pdf file into a Virtual Directory folder? All the examples I saw were for XML files.

     

    Greetings,

    I may not be the best resource for helping you with this, but when the form is ready for distribution you should select "collect responses on my own internal server" rather than Acrobat.com

    Hey Rufus, I already create a test form with this feature but, what the security guys are expecting is that when the user clicks the submit button they get a pdf file sent out to an specified network folder; just the file, without any tracker utility what so ever, they just want to received the file.

     

    Now, digging a bit more I was able to gathered some info about the LiveCycle Workbench license and they have a three day video tutorial that covers pretty much what the requirements and expectations are over here but what I have it's a LiveCycle Designer license. Can I accomplish the same objective with either both license or does my company requires the Workbench version?

     

    If you don't know the answer, to which Forum topic should I redirect my question?

    Thanks for all your assistance about this matter Rufus!

    I don't know the answer concerning Workbench.  You might try posting your question in LiveCycle Process Management ES or LiveCycle Output ES

     

    Good luck,

    Rufus
