DTML and Acrobat Forms
Hi, I have had Zope running on my Win95 machine for about a week and starting to come to grips with the Zen of Zope, but still a long way to go. It is an excellent product. Has anyone gone down the path before of integrating Adobe Forms with Zope in DTML? I had a few go's but not too much luck. For Win32's, Adobe supplies an ActiveX.dll which can parse Adobe Forms files (.FDF). There is even a Perl module from Adobe around which will work with the ActiveX. The problem is that Adobe Forms implement two types of POST to the server: a)application/x-www-form-urlencoded or b)posts the FDF file directly to server I am trying to implement (b) in Zope. My first hurdle is figuring out how to implement the equivalent of the following Perl snippet in DTML: binmode STDIN; read STDIN, $buf, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}; $inFdf = Acrobat::FDF::NewFromBuf($buf); # Read the FDF POSTed from the client Next, get the ActiveX to work with Zope. Do I need to get into Python scripts here. Thanks. Chui Tey
