FDF & ASP

[ftc128]

I'm trying to make an ASP that opens an FDF, changes its form values and saves it to a new file. I get no error messages, but my resulting FDF file shows the old data when opened with its corresponding PDF, and when I open the FDF in notepad, I notice it is appended with my new data. But the new data never gets to the PDF file. Suggestions? Thanks

I think my core problem is that this line of code here:

outputFDF.FDFSetValue varPatient_Name, Patient_Name, True

is generating the /T key, but not the corresponding /V key. As a result, my data never displays in the PDF. Anybody know how to get a /V key to show up in a newly-created FDF file?

Thanks

You can create FDF files natively, as text files. I've never used the "FDF Toolkit", or indeed any of Adobe's APIs, so can't answer your specific question. However, you should be able to open the FDF and insert the key via standard file i/o routines.
