passing web argument to pdf

[jonko1]

Hey,

I'm currently checking out the adobe sdk sampleclient-php-soap.

It works so far, but I want to extend it's functions by passeing the arguments to a textframe in the .pdf file.

The pdf file just prints **not_defined** for the argument that was passed by me over the browser.

Below's my code:

var notDefined = "**not_defined**";
var myArg0 = app.scriptArgs.getValue("arg0");
var myResult = "arg0:  " + myArg0;

var myFile = new File(Folder.desktop + "/design.indd");
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var textFrame  = myDocument.textFrames.add();
var myDocPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[High Quality Print]");
var myExportedPDF = new File(Folder.desktop + "/ExportedPDF.pdf");

textFrame.properties =
{
    geometricBounds : [ 0,0,100,100 ],
    strokeWidth : 2,
    fillColor : "None",
    contents : myResult
};

How did you define that scriptArg?

Did you use method set() somehow before?

See DOM documentation:

FWIW: Personally I never worked with that feature.
