I have a PDF file created using LIVECYCLE 8.0 I can open it in ADOBE READER x ... it lets me fill out the form, and click the SUBMIT button.
This submits the FORM DATA as NAME/VALUE pairs to my webserver

NOW My QUICK PDF ACTIVEX control is OPENING the file as mentioned above, and RE-SAVING IT
as follows.

BB=Createobject("QuickPDFAX0816.PDFLibrary")
BB.UnlockKey("MYLICENSEcode here")
BB.LoadFromFile(MYPDFFILEHERE,"")
BB.RemoveXFAEntries(1)
! THIS CODE BELOW SIMPLY POPULATES FIELDS ON THE FORM
! THIS IS VISUAL FOXPRO BUT DOESN'T MATTER
! AS YOU CAN SEE IT SIMPLY WRITES MY DATA TO THE PDF FILE
! THEN SAVES IT AS A NEW FILE
! THE NEW FILE IS  THEN OPENED IN ADOBE READER BUT THE
! SUBMIT BUTTON NOW DOES NOT WORK AND DOES NOTHING
For fKnt=0 To toFormCollection.ChildNodes.Length-1
 lItem=toFormCollection.ChildNodes(fKnt)
 lcFieldName=lItem.NodeName
 lcFieldValue=lItem.Text
 =setpdfformfieldbyname(lcFieldName,BB,lcFieldValue)
Endfor
* Now Save up new form and open it
BB.Savetofile(tcNewFileName)
ANY HELP Would be GREAT !

	Hi! Working with QuickPDF or any other third party library on a adobe livecycle-form will raise many problems. You'll never succeed in having a stable behavior regarding this issue. Please read my blog here about the adobe mechanism to protect their claims: http://pdfcomments.blogspot.de/2009/06/pdf-and-forms.html Cheers and welcome here, Ingo

	Here is some more information http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/adobe-reader-extensions-usage-rights.php If other libraries such a Quick PDF Library could read and write data to XFA based LiveCycle forms then Adobe would lose a lot of their revenue stream. This is why they make if difficult for other PDF libraries to work with LiveCycle forms unless a license is purchased from Adobe. Andrew.
