No, it cannot work in ANY browser unless it uses Adobe technology. Chrome does not. You cannot use Acrobat on the server, therefore. You cannot use Acrobat on the Chrome client. So give it up. I will not waste any more time on a doomed project.

And I repeat once more because you did not acknowledge: you cannot use this to make your forms work in Chrome. Please acknowledge you have abandoned this plan.

There is nothing more available for download. You will not find existing code/classes to adapt; you must use the documentation to create your own.

There are a few sample programs in the SDK in the directory JavaScriptSupport. You will find a portfolio file, that contains a number of sample programs. But as TSN said, that's it. You will have to study the documentation, and then create your own solutions.

Thank you so much Sir for your reply.

Sir, If I will not get any in build JS classes then how can I extend from my end?

For example like if I need to implement paypal payment gateway then I need to use their parameters, url, APIs for sending data to their server,

In case of Acrobat, How can I access any class/code and then extend and submit PDF form from out side.

Can you guide me Sir?

Thanks,

Sunil

You said somewhere I think you wanted this to work in Chrome. If so, the Acrobat cannot help you in any way. I think you need to know when to give up.

Yes of course. The product you need is Acrobat. Every user of your application must have a license for Acrobat. Just as, for example, the Windows SDK is for people with a Windows license.

Thanks Sir,

Without use/implementation how can we know that this is useful for us?

For example: I need to do submit pdf form from out side of PDF (see above threads) and I need to access Doc.submitForm() out side of PDF? With-out use/implement how can I say that this SDK is helping for solve my problem.

So can I assume that I can not get SDK/sample classes code for solve my problem without purchase?

Thanks

Yes, you can call the Doc.submitForm() method programmatically and without user interaction.

Hello Sir,

Thanks for this information.

In my PDF form, there is not submit button and I need to post form data in particular action, so can I call this function from out side of PDF?

Doc.submitForm(); Here Doc in general selector and submitForm() is JS function.

One more thing, I am facing issue related to PDF form Submit button is not working on Chrome. Below is the example and I have attached PDF.
