I am looking to create a form data exchange to create a new PDF with the imported data, add pages from a PDF repository. I can build the PDF and prepare it for distribution but the data exchange with SOAP is a whole new world. I had used ADBC within our network and it worked great. I am working with our programmer who has already set up the WSDL. I am just looiking for a solid example of how to connect, request, receive and populate PDF. I believe a web page that managed the front end would work as well - Get the data and open and work with an existing PDF form. I have downloaded the Acrobat SDK but I haven't found a SOAP exchange sample in the mix.

You can use SOAP from Javascript or a plug-in. Do NOT assume anything will work in the free Reader; budget for Acrobat for everyone.

Hi,
You should be able to use some code similar to below, depending on your wsdl, there will be changes.
// Start Of Code
// This is a service that converts the number to words - e.g. '100' becomes ' One Hundred'
service = Net.SOAP.connect("http://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/numberconversion.wso?WSDL");
var result = null;
try{
//the following line makes the web service call, which takes one parameter 'ubiNum' the number to convert.
result = service.NumberToWords('<ubiNum>' + cResponse + '</ubiNum>');
}catch(e){
app.alert("ERROR: There was a problem making the web service call to the web method" + e); //error goes to message box
}
this.getField("TranslatedText").value = result;
}
// EOC
Please note: as this is a webcall, there may be a dialog that displays asking for permission to access the wsdl location.
Hope this helps
Malcolm
