Hello python-win32,
I'm storing some Adobe forms (application/vnd.fdf) in a database.
Using ADODBAPI I've been able to pull the data out. Does anyone know
how I can launch Adobe Acrobat with the data?
Here's how I get the data:
>>> import adodbapi
>>> conn = adodbapi.connect('Driver={SQL Server};Data
Source=dbServer,1433;Initial Catalog=theDatabase;User
ID=theUser;Password=thePassword;')
>>> curs=conn.corsor()
>>> curs.execute('''select documentID, BLOBcol from mytable where
>>> documentID=5;''')
>>> answer=curs.fetchall()
And answer is:
>>> answer
((u'5', <read-write buffer ptr 0x00AF51C8, size 5132 at 0x00AF51A8>),)
I can get just the FDF data, of course.
>>> print answer[0][1]
%+++-1.2
/FDF << /Fields [ << /T (All_Activity_ActivityID)/V /Off >> << /T (All_
<snip more FDF data>
Does anyone know how to launch Acrobat with data? I'm very behind the
power curve on windows programming, so I'm not really even sure how to
search through windows to discover how to Dispatch correctly. I
searched the registry for applicatoin/vnd.fdf, and found HKCR\.fdf,
which had AcroExch.FDFDoc, and PDFs look to be AcroExch.Document, but
how I would use, say, win32com.client.Dispatch to launch Acrobat with
some data (or even launch Acrobat)?
Thanks for the help.
