The meaning of the Quick Bars is described in the same manual. Check All boxes. If you find something in the definition that you don't understand, please let us know, there are some surprising conditions.

the boxes sayes:

1. F :Requires forms rights

2. S - For security reasons, this property or method may be available only during certain events. These events include batch processing, application start, or execution within the console. (See the event object for details of the Acrobat events.)

i need to execute the Net.HTTP.request from a button in the form.

i dont understand :

1.what is form rights.

2. can i use Net.HTTP.request from a button?

Ok bad news

1. Form rights require a very expensive enterprise solution called LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Unless your budget is in a healthy 5 figures with a spare server and Java admin, this might as well say "not in Reader".

2. If this was the only obstacle, you'd use a trusted function and startup script installed on each client.

thanks for all the answers.

my goal is to communicate with another program.

i need to send data to the program and receive answers from the program.

the program have a SQL Database and can help the user to fill some of the fields in the form with data from the database.

my first thought was using com object but i was answered that i cant do that.

after that i thought on using HTTP GET but again, there are security problems with that.

is there any other way to accomplish what i need?

any idea how to communicate with other program?

You can submit the form to a web server in FDF or XFDF format. The server can process and return an FDF or XFDF response. This response is used to fill form fields.
