filling a pdf-file

[Martin]

I have several forms in pdf-format.
There are editable fields in the pdf-document. How is this editing done
using powerbuilder?

[Ken Halbert]

Adobe Acrobat 4.x (not to be confused with Acrobat Reader) exposes
functionality via automation that facilitates the programatic manipulation
of PDF form field data. The following code fragment demonstrates such an
implementation:

oleobject lnv_Document, &
lnv_Form, &
lnv_Field

lnv_Document = CREATE oleobject
lnv_Document.ConnectToNewObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
lnv_Document.Open("c:\temp\myfile.pdf", "")
lnv_Form = CREATE oleobject
lnv_Form.ConnectToNewObject("AFormAut.App")
lnv_Field = lnv_Form.Fields.Item("myPDFfield")
lnv_Field.Value = "My text to display."
.
.
.
lnv_Form.DisconnectObject()
lnv_Document.Close(FALSE)
lnv_Document.DisconnectObject()
DESTROY lnv_Form
DESTROY lnv_Document

You can download the Adobe Acrobat SDK from
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/acrobat.html

Unfortunately, Adobe does not support the SDK when used with PowerBuilder.
I have experiened stability problems when accessing Acrobat automation via a
PowerBuilder 7.03 app running on Windows 95/98/ME (NT and Win2K work fine).
I had to wrap the automation calls in a C dll to overcome these problems.

I understand your reply but I have some dudes.

The ConnectToNewObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") needs to register a library to the
system, (regsvr32 AcroExch.AVDoc)
Can you tell me what libary I need and where can I found it?
How can I get the methods of this library?

A lot of thanks

Jesus
