Extract the Attachment data from Adobe Reader 8

May 4, 2012 1:04 PM

Hi,

We have a requirement to read the attachment data from adobe pdf. We are designing the PDF's in Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES. From the discussion i understand we can get the name and size of the attachment using dataobjects. But i need the content of the attachment. Let me know if there is any code to extract the attachment data.

Thanks in advance.

What type of files are the attachments and what do you want to do with the data after you extract it?

We have a requirement to extract the data from either CSV / Text file for data validation.

You can read the contents of an attached file using the doc.getDataObjectContents method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_A croJS.88.475.html

You'll just have to parse the contents correctly using JavaScript.
