Question
Submitting a PDF form ---> save and send completed PDF document?
A small government site has a number of 'submittable' PDF form documents
that they'd like me to include on the website. I am not very familiar
with PDF forms in this way, and hope someone here can help sort out a
few things...
Can a PDF form be submitted so that
a) the completed PDF doc is saved on the server (and renamed)
b) a printable , completed PDF (looks just like the one they filled out,
with all their values saved in the input boxes) is emailed to specific
address
c) the raw user data is saved to database (maybe a list of fields in one
column of a db table, and a matching list of values in another? this
would just be for backup in case the completed PDF did not save
correctly to the server, or for later reference)
We've looked at the standard Acrobat 'submit via email' and that won't
cut it... that method appears to simply trigger a 'mailto' popup, with
the pdf as an attachment. Our system needs to be automated via CFmail.
None of these would handle any 'sensitive' information, the main
concern, from their part, is people being able to submit the form and
have both the city office and the recipient get a copy that prints just
as if they had hit 'print' when filling out the actual PDF.
Is all of this possible ??
if so... any tips appreciated!
