I would like to be able to Export data in certain fields from pdf 1 to pre-fill according fields in pdf 2. All users will be using Reader with rights enable.
As I'm reading throught JS API, I think what I'm looking for is the "exportAsFDF()" method of the doc object. I created a button for exporting values and opening Pdf2 in a single click. I used the importAnFDF() method in a doc-level script of pdf2 that triggers on doc open. I successfully managed to copy a value. Now before I get to excited, I just want to know:
-Is this the right way to do this?
-Is there a way for pdf 2 to "know" it has been opened from pdf 1? For example, could I pass a bollean from both files? If pdf 2 is opened as a single file, I don't want it to be looking for an old remaining FDF on the server.
-What happens if [aFields] contains a field not present in pdf 2?
-Must fields be the same name on both pdfs for data to tranfers or is there a way to change the destination field?
-Are all properties of a field transfered or just its value?
-Are values transfered as strings or as original type?
-What exactly is "flag" refering to?
-Any neat tricks regarding this particular method that you know of?
