javascript code for saving FDF

[Mike Tulak]

As pdf forms with javascript code don't work to well on mobile devices, I am designing basic cut down versions of my forms for mobile use, I want to take the data gathered on these mobile devices (All field names in the mobile and windows forms are the same) and import the data into a windows version of the form (full function), as mobile device settings don't save in FDF format, I can open the file in XI Pro then export as FDF then import the FDF file into the full windows  form version.

This appears to work just thought there might be a more elegant method for doing this.

What's your question, exactly?

[Mike Tulak]

The current submit is designed for E mail or URL is there a way to route the FDF file to say the desktop? I am thinking that some users may be using reader and wont have the function to save as FDF,

Some clients don't understand the difference between reader and Pro versions,

To be honest I am trying to cover all scenarios having fell into this trap before and discovered they were using reader for functions I specifically explained required Pro versions,

Thanks for the reply

No, you can't re-route the Submit command so that it saves an FDF file on the local machine.
The users can either drag the FDF file from the generated email to their desktops, or they can use a script to display the FDF data and then save it locally to a file, like this script I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Adobe Reader -- Import/Export PDF Form Data
