CheesyBeanz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 HI. Total newby here. I have a PDF form that is crested using Adobe Acrobat. When a user fills in the form on the PDF, I want it to be sent to my web server for me to view. Ultimately, I would also like an email to let me know somethings been sent too but that's for a later day, one thing at a time.I know that on the PDF Form in Acrobat I have to specify a URL to handle the form data but what is this php file and what should it contain. I'm at a total loss with this and cannot find anything on the web about it.Can any of you geniuses help me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I know that on the PDF Form in Acrobat I have to specify a URL to handle the form data but what is this php file and what should it contain. It should contain the code to process the form submission. What "process" means needs to be defined by you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's not as straightforward as it is dealing with HTML forms as PDFs send form data as a FDF file instead of POST/GET. http://php.net/manual/en/intro.fdf.php You might try googling "pdf submit form to php" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
