    Default PDF form results

    I am creating a PDF in which a user to our site can fill out online and then
    somehow I would like them to submit that pdf with the filled out sections to an
    email address. Is there any way to do this in Coldfusion? These forms are
    applications for jobs to be placed on my site. I supose they could also be
    submitted to a database but I believe a email containing either the FDF or
    filled out PDF would be the best solution.

    Default Re: PDF form results

    I am also trying to do the same thing. Tried accessing the variables as FORM.fieldname and it does not work. I really have no clue and the documentation is not overly helpful.

    Has ANYONE done this?

    Default Re: PDF form results

    as far as capturing the form, something like this doesn't work? if you want FDF
    i think you can but you'll have to dip down into the underlying iText lib.


    <cfparam name="form.who" type="string" default="Paul">
    <cfparam name="form.where" type="string" default="Bangkok">

    <cfdocument format="PDF">
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>test</title>
    </head>

    <body>
    <cfoutput>
    <cfform action="formPDF.cfm" format="HTML">
    <b>who are you</b>? <input type="text" name="who" value="#who#"><br>
    <b>where are you</b>? <input type="text" name="where" value="#where#"><br>
    </cfform>
    </cfoutput>

    You have set the actions for your "Submit" button in the PDF to format "HTML".
    Then you just tell it what URL you want it to go to (in your case a .cfm page)
    and then all the variables will come that CF page as FORM.whatever.

    What I want is to be able to actually save that raw PDF that gets sent over.
    That'd be the best.
