How to store variable data in PDF after close?

[met547]

Hi,

I have a PDF form developed in Acrobat 10 Pro. I have several Javascript variables that I want to store in the PDF when the form user saves the file, so I can later open the file and check the values of these variables.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

You can save the values in hidden form fields.

Or in the file's metadata...

Works like a charm! Thanks a lot Bernd.

Tested on both Acrobat and Reader and works fine.
