Hello everyone,

I'm trying to read files and put values from these files inside my pdf form. These files are on a network of my company. I know this is not a secure way to do it, but it is just a first version of my form. It works perfectly with acrobat standard version. However I'v got an issue with the Reader version.

I put all files in preferences > security (enhanced) . However, on Acrobat Reader, I can't add a folder from a network. So, I used the local host but it doosn't work, it dosen't read my files.

If anyone have the solution in this case I'm listening.

Thank you.

Here is how I read my file, and you have the beginning of my code :

var oStream = util.readFileIntoStream("/win-master.hsa.snecma/safrants/SafranTS_Temporary/TEST_IT/cale_compensation_L1.json");
var strJSON = util.stringFromStream(oStream);
var oData = eval("("+strJSON+")");
var lb = this.getField("epaisseur_D1M");

if ( event.value >= 1.11 && event.value < 1.139){
lb.clearItems();
lb.insertItemAt(oData['1,14']['epaisseur']);
lb.insertItemAt(" -cale-");}

You need to place the readFileIntoStream method into a trusted function in a privileged context (such as an app-level script), and then it should work. I think that should also apply when used in Acrobat Standard, though.
