I am trying to find the form field names in a PDF. I was reading through
cfpdfform and it says to get the structure do this:
To verify the structure of a PDF form in ColdFusion, use the read action of
cfpdfform tag, and then use the cfdump tag to display the result structure.
For some reason
Try this
cfpdfform action=read source=mydocument.pdf xmldata=pdfFieldsxml
result=pdfFields/cfpdfform
cfdump var=#pdfFields#

For some reason I just can't work that out in my head,
welcome to Monday
right...
I would ask what did you do this weekend? But my brain is not faring much
better today ;-)
Just for the example, say the pdf file is test.pdf.
cfpdfform action=read source=c:/path/test.pdf result=data /
Worked like a charm, thanks!

Ah, now the truth comes out ... ;)
So, I am running into a problem
I tried a quick test under CF9 (using full paths) and all of the test values
are populated for me.
cfpdfform action=populate source=c:/test.pdf
Is that the only thing you changed? I am also running CF9.

I am not sure about LPRAlienNumber. But for expirationdate use index.
Example:
cfpdfformparam name=expirationdate index=1 value=12/31/1899 /
cfpdfformparam name=expirationdate index=2 value=10/10/1910 /
cfpdfformparam name=expirationdate index=3 value=05/05/1955 /
The file has some restrictions, but seems to allow fill ins. You tried the
exact code and none of the fields are populated? I tested with 9,0,1,274733 dev
edition.

What version of CF
Acrobat Reader on his PC, THE INFO IS THERE. So,
apparently that means
Preview can't show the entered form field data...

OK, hold the phone! I'm on a mac so I have been using Preview. Guess
what... Preview doesn't show the stuff. I sent it to a co-worker who uses
