I am having issue reading Form Fields in a PDF Generated using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 . The AFPDDocEnumPDFields does not produce results in the callback. I was able to get a list of fields using Javascript getNthFieldName. Once I got the field setting a the rawValue does not update the field.

Can anyone help with this

You need to familiarize yourself with the XFA specification and then manipulate the XFA data directly.

I was reading the specification, but everything I tried did not work. My last attempt was this .

var f = xfa.resolveNode('topmostSubform[0].Page1_Standard[0].Body[0].Borders_CC_4[0].KOST_2[0]'); f.rawValue = 'ABC';

In a plug-in, you have access to the XFA data directly. I would just parse the XML and extract the information that way.
