Is it possible to load external data from inside PDF file?
my constraints:
- PDF Form is filled only using Acrobat Reader and offline filling (user's computer)
- PDF Form is generated on server side, with Adobe javascript injected by itext, emailed to user, user fill it and email back to us.
- from within PDF form, user need to load dynamic data from web (this is the challenge)
- No access to folder level adobe javascript, so we can't use Adobe Javascript SOA nor Net.HTTP (CMIIW - SOA and Net.HTTP only available via folder level adobe javascript)
what I've done:
- A. use itext to inject adobeJavascript submitForm - done
- B. success submitting data to server - done
- C. my server side received and return data (I tried FDF format) - done
- D. from within the PDF file, I try to get the response data. I use this parameter called oJavaScript:After/oJavaScript:Before in submitForm method. I've played with the example, debug and no luck of getting any data. No called to "oJavaScript:After" function that I registered through submitForm. This is where I stuck.
So, with all the constraints, is it still possible? (either using oJavascript/other method). Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks.
