[SOLVED] OpenOffice PDF export and submit

Recommended Posts

I created a document with OpenOffice 3.0 writer and exported as FDF. The form has several text fields and a submit button. I've used Adobe in past and creation of a form in this manner is quite similar. A PHP page was created to service the form submit URL. When the submit button is clicked, the page displays, but there are no items in the POST, GET, or REQUEST arrays. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks

Two things needed to be done to resolve this issue:

 

1) The URL was being redirected. If WWW was not in the URL, the website was configured to redirect to the same address but with the WWW. The URL given in the PDF did not have the WWW. This was changed to have WWW.

 

2) When exporting as PDF from the file menu, check "Create PDF form" and the "submit format" should be HTML. It should not be FDF.
