Nope. It's showing the Binding tab on my screen.

I assume we're talking about the same thing. On the right hand side, the bit with a red square around. There are 3 tabs; Field, Value and Binding. The pic you posted is showing the Binding tab.

Oh. If it's the same image name, it's stored in IE's cache. Got it now.

Hmmm...Looks like it probably is that binding name then. Try checking the case. In your code you have "name", but in the previous pic, the field was called "Name".

Could also be that you've limited the length of the field to 1 character.
And also check the Appearance options. You currently have it set to None.

right getting somewhere i think now

i took a sample out of the fdf toolkit and it works
then i created a blank form with livecylce designer and just put the one field in it and it doesnt work

opening the two pdfs i cant tell the difference

test.asp
test2.asp

test.pdf

test2.pdf

could you download the pdfs and perhaps tell me what the difference is?

test2 is the one that works

Cheers

the code in the test docs is both, only thing that changes is pdf file name
Code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
set fdf = Server.CreateObject("FdfApp.FdfApp")

set output = fdf.FDFCreate

'from a recordset
output.FDFSetValue "Name","This is my name", false
'from a server host
output.FDFSetFile "http://www.constructionworks.org/test/test.pdf"

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.fdf"
Response.BinaryWrite output.FDFSaveToBuf

output.FDFClose
%>

It is to do with the form field names.

When I open test.pdf there is one field called:-
Code:
form1[0].#pageSet[0].Page1[0].Name[0]


When I open test2.pdf the names are all standard field names:-
Code:
Name
Employer
Address
Phone
etc..


It obviously has something to do with how the fields are being named when the pdf is saved. What is the difference between how you create test.pdf and test2.pdf?

Hope that helps.

Have a look at this page.

It seems to me that livecycle uses XML, not FDF to populate data.

I guess the options are:-
1) Continue using livecycle and process the data using XML (as Adobe now suggest on the link I posted) This would not require FDF and so I guess is independent of the server as no dlls would need to be registered.

2) Create the PDFs using Acrobat (which you'd have to buy if you don't already have it and isn't cheap - A8 Standard is $299 on the Adobe site) and use FDF to populate the data.

If I was starting from scratch and had the software, I'd probably choose the first route and find some tutorials on how to do it.

Hope that helps.
