Hi Rui!

The pdf-reader only starts the JavaScript-action and JavaScript is on your machine this has nothing to do with pdf-internal things. What is limited by the pdf-readers are the supported events (OnOpen, OnLoad, OnSave, and so on).
If your trial key is expired you can explain your problems and doubts asking for a second key on the official support pages.

Cheers, Ingo

Hi Ingo,

Thanks for your quick reply! Regarding the Java stuff I already have the validation code. What I didn't know if the javascript supported by the pdf's readers was a subset of javascript :)

Regarding the button stuff I understand I can code the hotspot to call a javascript but how to I do I send the data to a server? it is possible to implement a FORM action? (POST / GET) or can I implement this using a class (var Comm = ActiveXObject("...")).

Sorry for so many questions but the trial version expiricy is almost here and i'm still with doubts about what can i do with javascript and if it suits my needs (posting form data to a server).

Best regards and thank you,
Rui Cruz

Hi!

Numeric and text content goes in one available formfield type.
There are different type of form field (checkbox, radio, ...) but
not regarding the content type.

There's a lot of JS-stuff out there having to do with content
validation. Try Google with "JavaScript validate content numeric".
Javascript is Javascript. This script language has nothing to do
with any pdf-reader.
BUT!... It's possible to deactivate JavaScript-actions in your
pdf-reader to make it more safe - This could be a problem...
Regarding point 2:
Not a real button but you can add a clickable rectangle to
your pages and you can append JavaScript-code.
You should read the online reference here:

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Hello All,

I'm currently evaluating the QuickPDF library to check if it fits my needs and I'm currently facing the following problems:

1. Cannot define input masks for form fields. Is this possible? Define a numeric mask.. a date mask and so one. If not it is possible to validate input using JavaScript? Is there some code already available that I can freely use?
2. I need to post the user data to a server using a formfield. Again.. is this possible using a     javascript binded to a button?

I really like the product and its features (comparing with the common PDF printers outhere) but I really need the feature of sending the data to a server instead of saving it locally.

Ah.. by the way. The javascript stuff is compatible between Acrobat / Foxit versions or there are versions changes that i must be carefull about?

TYI,
Rui Cruz
