I’m confused: You’re saying something is complaining that “Form1 is not recognized” however I don’t see a reference to Form1 in the code you listed.

And you say you see the alert. Are you seeing it before or after the Import Data dialog?

After executing xfa.host.importData() function, code further does not get executed.
My script is like that:

xfa.host.importData();
Form.txt1.rawValue=”";
Form.txt2.rawValue=”";
xfa.host.messageBox(”done”);

My task is to fill the form amd then balnk few feilds.
I am getting alert “done” which i have mentioned in above script.
Tha javascript error is coiming that Form1 is not recognised.
Although Form1 is a part of XFA from i have desinged in LC designer.
Kindly advice.

Thanks,
Nitin.

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the iText library so I can’t be of any help there.

If you used XSLT, you could even configure FormB to translate the data from FormA using the XSLT into a format that FormB would understand by creating a schema (or sample XML) data connection in FormB and setting the “Transform Incoming Data” property to the XSLT file that converts FormA’s data structure into FormB’s data structure.

To get data from your Excel spreadsheet into your PDF form, you’ll need to use Microsoft’s ODBC driver for Excel. Then you’ll need to setup an ODBC data connection in your form.

Is it possible to read and write the data in dynamic XFA forms. Uing iText i m able to read the data from XFA form, but writing back data to the feilds is creating
problem.

Please suggest if any API is available to achieve this task.
Please reply asap its urgent.

Thanks,

I want to achieve the task using Java, please suggest the best possible approach.

Thanks,

Thanks for ur reply, but how to achieve this task with XSLT?
Could you please throw some more light on it.

Is it possible to achieve the same using iText (java library) ?

It sounds like you have an old form, let’s call it “FormA”, and a new form, let’s call it “FormB”, and you want to programmatically transfer the data from FormA to FormB.

The first thing that comes to mind is writing an XSLT to translate FormA’s data model into FormB’s data model. You would export the data from FormA, run it through the XSLT and then import the data into FormB. Bindings in both forms would automatically take care of exporting and importing the data out of and into the fields.

If you’re using Acrobat to do this, then you shouldn’t have to worry about Reader Extensions but if you’re using Reader, then you’ll need it since Reader can’t import data without the PDF being extended.

I’m hoping to achieve something which I think is something really simple but because of lack of proper documentation I am running around in circles.

I have a very basic Excel file which three different columns.

1. Name
2. Course Name
3. Signatory

I will have three buttons on my PDF form

How can I populate each field for different records from the Excel file?

I hope I have been clear in my explanation.

Thanks in advance

Sincerely
Norbert
