Can I use ADBC inside of a script to loop through other document objects?

Question

Hi,I wondered if it is possible to do the following:a.) Connect to a database using the ADBC object and loop through the records.b.) If there are 2 fields in the database 'FilePathAndName' and 'ActionScriptName', can I loop through the records, opening each doc object and running an Action Script based on it's name.ThanksThe ADBC object is used in conjunction with the connection and statement objects to interface with a database. These objects constitute Acrobat Database Connectivity (ADBC), and provide a simplified means of using ODBC calls to connect to a database and access its data. SQL statements are passed to thestatement object’s execute method in order to insert, update, retrieve, and delete data.ADBC

I've used FDF to pass information back and forth between a database and a PDF file. See here for some information about how to do that: Connect to Database from PDF Form - This Time Without SOAP - KHKonsulting LLC

You will have to do a lot more on the server to get a similar behavior as with ADBC, but it's possible, and what TSN said is actually not true in this case: You don't need anybody to click to make things work, you can submit FDF data without user interaction.

Adobe Acrobat doesn't support ADBC anymore.
