Why do you need the HTML/JS at all? PDF forms can do standard web submission of data OR you can use SOAP APIs to post data.

Hi Irosenth

Thanks for your reply

User has filled the form saved it on local hard disk.

Our's is a website where we need to provide button on client side to browse pdf and the data should be sent to asp.net web api via http request. This data could be pdf stream or the xml. User does not want the hassle of exporting to xml manually and then upload.

Also the user who has filled the form is different and there is different user who is uploading the form to our website.

We do not want submit button on forms, nether we need plugin for pdf forms.

Could you elaborate more about SOAP APIs to post data.?

Please share some references .

Also can you share some sample code or link where similar thing is done?

Reader has the ability BUT it is not available via any APIs.


Yeah, I thought so.

What would be the best way to achieve my needs? Do you have any suggestions on how the xml can be extracted on client side ?

or any other suggestion.
