Hello, I want to be able to populate a text form field with a text value when the PDF is open in Reader on Windows (this plug-in will be licensed to do so). What is the best way of doing this given that the document will all ready be open? The options seem to be: 1) use the Forms API to set a new value for the field, but that will not update the appearances too, so how do you update them? 2) Use the ImportAnFDF Forms API call to import an FDF that was created earlier. 3) Use the AVDocSendAuxData Acrobat API call -- is there an AuxDataHandler for FDF data and, if so, what is its name? Forms? FDF? Anyone have any advice or experience with this?
