Topic: Pass value to PDF version 7
Conf: (P-PDF) Acrobat 7, Msg: 135525

I am trying to a seemingly simple operation and have not found a viable solution. I simply want to pass a value in a url to a PDF created in Designer 7.

Ex: Http://www.xxx.com/sample.pdf?ID=1234


I have a field in the PDF called ID that I want to populate with the ID. Seems easy enough however.

In researching this, I have discovered that FDF is not an option in a PDF version 7 created with Designer. I have tried several Javascript options to get the URL info and populate the field, but have determined
that the Document level does not have visibility of the Browser URL. I
was going to try to just create the XDP version which is easy to
manipulate then convert to PDF on the fly before displaying in a
browser but have not found any support to dynamically convert XDP to
PDF without the forms server.


If anyone has another idea on how to pass a variable to a PDF version 7
I would appreciate any help.
