This brings back bad memories of trying to get fdf and xfdf to work in
Active4D. About the only thing I can find is my archives are the templates. I
just remember giving up and we went to pdfplugin and used some plugin to
populate the fields and sent the pdf. I also remember something about the file
corruption error.
Seems to me that opening fdf file actually combines the fdf and xfdf file in
the pdf template. I just can't remember what all we tried. Think we went as far
has having applescript open the file and save the pdf, but that was a hack
destined for problems. Think another excursion was to not open the file in the
browser, but saving it. Think that worked, but you had to go through stuff to
find the template.
If your write a blob (fdf opened with document to blob), the output buffer is
cleared with write blob. You can try "clear response buffer", but "Write Blob"
should do that.
