Extract data xml from pdf form

Avatar

Level 2
Hi,



I use Forms service to merge data (xml) with a form (xdp), as result I have a prepopulating form (pdf).



My problem is when the form comes back.

So I have a pdf (with all data) and I want to extract data (xml). I thought it was possible with Forms Service but I don't find example.

So my question is:

to extract data you have to use Forms Service or an another service ?



Thanks for any help



Best regards

You can use the Forms service (processFormSubmission) or the Form Data Integration service under Common (exportData).

My problem is the opposite.



My forms come back as XML data ... but I want them to come back as completed PDF's in email. ( people use the "submit" button to send the forms back )



Is there an option to select which will ensure that the emails come back as pdf's and not XML data?

Yes. Create a regular submit button, not an e-mail submit button



BUT



* You will need to Reader Enable the forms or people with Reader will

not be able to submit them



* There is a limit of 500 users per form



* E-mail "submitting" is probably not suitable for real world or

commercial applications; you should submit to a web script, just as

you would with a web page.
