Problem with XFA-PDF

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

we use Adobe PDF XFA-format, made with LifeCycle Designer. QuickPDF Library has some functions to manipulate fields, like SetXFAFormFieldValue. We want to fill contents to these fields and give the user the possibility to change the contents and save it in Adobe Reader. For that we need to set the enhanced reader rights / reader extentions in Acrobat. Everything works fine, but when we load and save the pdf, the rights are gone.

Our code is VBA/VB and like this:

Call
objDoc.LoadFromFile("C:\MyFile.pdf)
objDoc.SetXFAFormFieldValue "Country",
"Germany"
objDoc.SaveToFile "C:\MyFile.pdf

Even when we just load and save the file, without touching fields, in Adobe Reader this message is shown:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in 
Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and 
these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the 
original version of this document."

Any hints?

Thanks!
Philipp

	Hi Philipp! Read my blog regarding this issue: http://pdfcomments.blogspot.de/2009/06/pdf-and-forms.html Try to create your forms without adobe products! If you use adobe products you're in the trap :( Cheers, Ingo
