Collapse All Syntax| LONG CreateImportDataAction ( BSTR fileName ) |
RemarksCreateImportDataAction creates a JavaScript action that allows users to load data into a predefined form in a PDF document from an external FDF file. The function creates a JavaScript action. The structure of an FDF file can be found in the Adobe PDF Reference (8.6.6 Forms Data Format).
The return value is an action identifier in the document's actions collection and can be used in AddControlToAction, OpenDocumentAction, PDFANNOTATION_OnBeforeFormatting, PDFANNOTATION_OnChange, PDFANNOTATION_OnKeyPress, PDFANNOTATION_OnSetFocus, PDFANNOTATION_OnLostFocus, PDFANNOTATION_OnMouseDown, PDFANNOTATION_OnMouseUp, PDFANNOTATION_OnMouseEnter, PDFANNOTATION_OnMouseExit, PDFANNOTATION_OnOtherControlChanged, PDFPAGE_SetAction, PDFANNOTATION_Action, PDFOUTLINENODE_Action.
The following example demonstrates form data importing. You can download the FDF file used. (It is a ZIP archive containing the "import.fdf" file). You may unpack it and view it using any text editor.
