Create online PDF forms with database backend

Your link is wrong.




MyTaskHelper.com - this is correct link for creating and sharing online databases.

Yes, it is possible.



Please, use Free online database
MyTaskHelper.com for creating online database and sharing it.

Is it possible to query the database for a value after rendering the LiveCycle e-form?



ie. I have a LiveCycle e-form that just before printing I want some code (Java script) to run and a get a form number from the database and fill the print form field with it.

Dear Adobe -



Obviously, you are having a serious branding issue with your "lifecycle" products. Instead of working towards providing a solution for Jen, you have spent several posts explaining how she isn't using the right syntax to fit your nomenclature, which tells me that *YOU* need to clean up your act. Too many products, undefined processes, unclear results is not a formula for a successful product. Be very careful, there are a lot of companies waiting to eat your lunch for you if you continue to reply to earnest postings in the same manner as you have above...

I also wanted to let you know that i have been using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 for doing this.



Thanks in Advance

HI I am glad that i could see you people work on this. I am a complete novice to this Adobe Forms.



I created an Interactive form but now i had to create a database and have the data which is filled in the forms to be directly submitted in to the database.



Can any one of you provide me with detailed instructions as to how i should go about doing it?

Jen,



I have been using ACROBAT 4 5 6 7 Professional versions. The last

generation is ACROBAT 7.0 professional. There is document on the ADOBE

site that helps you to do what you are after. Ihave create a PDF in

ACROBAT 7.0 pro then opened in Life cycle then did sytem setup data binding and submit key with some java that interfaces an MS ACCESS

database to retrieve the form data to the data base as I said there is

documentation a little not very clear or how to do as a 123 or abc

procedure. I have to pdf test forms loading form data to an MS Access data base. There are system options to set ACCESS data base naming and options and table names to keep track of let alone the Java scripts.

I wrote a five page procedure a to z to train 4 other ACROBAT form

creators here. It is not easy took me several weeks of trial and error. But it does work. See page 40 of the Getting Started with Life CycleDesigner Forms " Interfacing with a Data base" at ADOBE.com they should write a book about this not just one or 2 pages as I said documentation is sparce I feel for anybody that has to go thru what I

had to to figure out the Rubick's cube they have here. The setting

in the System setup Ms Access and Lifecycle binding have to be insync

but once you get the procedure mapped as a a to z you will be able to open an existing PDF fillable previously created open in life cycle

do your binding to a ODBC MS ACCESS data save the final pdf post or save to a shared server or Share point have someone open fill out hit

the submit key then open your data base and see your dat. Yes it can be done.

Jen,



The costs depends alot on the complexity of what you need to do. If you'd like to discuss in detail offline, email us at adobe @ cardinalsolutions.com and we can setup a time to talk.

Thank you for the replies.



I am not familiar with any programming language. How much should I expect to pay for something like this to have it programmed?
