That’s a good question. Sounds like you’re hitting some sort of file size limit but I don’t see any limits stated in the JavaScript for Acrobat API docs.

You should try posting this question to the Acrobat Users Forum to see if someone there knows.

I’m using Livecycle Designer and I have a problem with a dynamic pdf.
I need to attach a big txt file (2.7 MB) to my dynamic pdf; then I have to take line by line all the information from that txt and process them.
So, I do this:
var sFile = “myFile”;
if (file.importDataObject(sFile)){
var oFile = file.getDataObjectContents(sFile);
var cFile = util.stringFromStream(oFile, “utf-8″);
. .. .. . .. .. . .. . .
}

Unfortunately, at getDataObjectContents the script crashes, but only when I try to get a big file, with a smaller txt (17 kB) everything works fine.
Is there another way to get the information from these big files?

Thanks,

Ciprian
