using external object

thanks for all the answers.

my goal is to communicate with another program.

i need to send data to the program and receive answers from the program.

the program have a SQL Database and can help the user to fill some of the fields in the form with data from the database.

my first thought was using com object but i was answered that i cant do that.

after that i thought on using HTTP GET but again, there are security problems with that.

is there any other way to accomplish what i need?

any idea how to communicate with other program?

the boxes sayes:

1. F :Requires forms rights

2. S - For security reasons, this property or method may be available only during certain events. These events include batch processing, application start, or execution within the console. (See the event object for details of the Acrobat events.)

i need to execute the Net.HTTP.request from a button in the form.

i dont understand :

1.what is form rights.

2. can i use Net.HTTP.request from a button?

hi,

on Net.HTTP.request it has S tag.

does it mean i cant use it in acrobat reader?

how do i check that?

NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.

Net.HTTP.request:21:Console undefined:Exec

there are no real symptoms, the code just don't work.

i have read about it a little bit and found that i need to put the code in folder level.

i did that and still the "Net.HTTP.request(params)" doesn't work.

the code below worked for me.

thanks for the answers.

GetURLText(url);

function GetURLText (cURL)

{

var params =

{

   cVerb: "GET",

   cURL: cURL,

   oHandler:

   {

     response: function(msg, uri, err)

     {

         var stream = msg;

         var string = "";

         string = SOAP.stringFromStream( stream );

         app.alert(string);

     }

   }

};

Net.HTTP.request(params);

}

Com Object

object that i created.
