How to read data fra adobe interactive pdf form into WDA context?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a pdf form which is pre filled with some data and then the user has the opportunity to add some data to the pdf form.

I want to retrieve this data into my context without having to add a button into the pdf form which will send back data to WDA. Currently i am using pdfSource but it is not updating the context.

If needed i can change to use dataSource/templateSource instead of pdfSource.

Thanks

I don't think that link will help. The PDF Source isn't updating either on data entry into the form

The issue here is that the Adobe form does not update the SAP context until you tell it to do so. You really need to trigger an event in the form to cause that update, a button as previously mentioned is one amongst many ways of doing this.

Hello Nahman Hussain,

You must somehow trigger on submit event to get the WD context update with form data. And to trigger submit event of WD, you need to trigger an event in Adobeform.

The other way round, you can use a mouse events on inputs or other ui elements and trigger event using Javascript of Adobe form.
