Acrobat Form fillable PDF Javascript - How can we write to text file

[GauravSingla]

Can somebody help me to write text into the txt file at some fixed location.
Example  var text = How are you

and want to write this text into the abc.txt file and save this on C:\temp\

There's no simple way of doing that. You can create an attachment and then export it, but the user will have to select where it is saved.

Thank you for your quick reply, How do I create a custom attachment with specific data (Like I just want the text How are you in that attachment). and I'm using Adobe Acrobat DC
Is this something you are saying...

var testData = "Testing";
this.createDataObject({cName: "test.txt", cValue:testData });
this.exportDataObject({cName: "test.txt", nLaunch:0});

If yes, It's working for me on my local machine, but not working on a server.

You're not allowed to use Acrobat on a server anyway...

We don't have acrobat there on server, Will it work with Adobe Reader?

You can't use Acrobat Reader on a server either. What is the big picture here? Perhaps we can help you find a suitable product.

Problem:- I have created a fillable PDF with SAVE AS, which is working perfectly fine.

Now I need to create XML file with SOME controls values, so what I did I just created a string with XML nodes/elements and now I need to save that string into txt or xml files. 

and I have acrobat on local machine and on server I have reader Only.

Please can you explain more about the requirement for the server. What would run the process on the server?

I need to design a fillable pdf for someone who has only Adobe Reader or Acrobat and PDF has textboxes where the user can fill details into it and save as with the user name. (Everything is working as desired till here).

and now we need to store that textboxes values into the database.

1) So either we can create a xml file with SOME specific controls value and I will write a code in any programming language to import that XML into the database.

2) or we can write javascript into acrobat so that javascript directly inserts values into the database.

but both ways are not working for me.

No need to reinvent the wheel, there is a well established process for getting data from a filled in PDF to a database on a server. Just submit the form data the usual way to an https script (cgi, asp, php or similar) on the server. All web scripts now need to be written by a professional web programmer as they are a major vector for attack.

No. And you can't use that on a server, either.
