Importing FDF
FDF and ASP (Importing to FDF/PDF)
There are a few types of ways to import an FDF Form.
Two ways are:
1. Importing FDF by requesting Data from PDF Submit Button
2. Importing by requesting Data from PDF File
The following Code illustrates the Creating, and Importing from an FDF
<%@ Language=VBSCRIPT %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<%
Resume to next statement on error
On error resume next
Next we add our declare and set our FDF Objects, and set MIME Type(Output).
Dim FDFAcx, FDFin
Set the Output MIME Type to FDF before we write anything to buffer
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.fdf"
Create FDF Application
Set FdfAcx = Server.CreateObject("FdfApp.FdfApp")
Create FDF output to PDF File
Set FDFout = FdfAcx.FDFCreate
Next, we create the FDF Input from PDF File (Uncomment One of them)
1. Open FDF From PDF File URL
Set FDFin=FdfAcx.FDFOpenFromFile(Server.MapPath(/PDF/my_file.pdf))
2. Or Open from Buffer (PDF Submit Button)
Set FDFin = FdfAcx.FDFOpenFromBuf(Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes))
Next we get the values from the FDF file
Dim FieldValues(2)
FieldValues(1) = FDFin.FDFGetValue(Fieldname_One)
FieldValues(2) = FDFin.FDFGetValue(Fieldname_Two)
Write the Status to show user the values are updated
FDFout.FDFSetStatus Page Imported to ASP: Successful
Next we write the response to the PDF File through FDF
Response.BinaryWrite FDFin.FDFSaveToBuf
Close the FDF Object and End the Response
FdfAcx.Close
Respone.End
