Editting PDF form

[rakesh_m2]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to read a pdf file from a folder and edit it and save the editted file as a new file in another location.  Say for example, in folder 'A' there is 'pdf' file with three fields in it, Employee Number, Employee Name and Status.   Employees will be given an interactive form where, they will fill Employee name and number and save the filled form in folder 'A'.  Now we need to read those files and set the status of the employee and save the newly editted files in another location.  Can you please share ideas with me, how to proceed for this.

Thanks,

Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,

Just did some research on SDN, there is no direct solution for your case, but they are few discussion / solution quite worth a try for your case.

On how to reach the field in Adobe Form

Not sure if to parse the data use FM SMUM_XML_PARSE, and then change the content in XML table and use FM SMUM_XML_CREATE to create the PDF will work.

A very good sample program to generate adobe form and send as email and so on

Hope this helps.
