How do I read and post the Actobat form data to a database?

We can read and send the Actobat form data to a database with the help of the PdfSubmitAction class. We can post data back to the database by creating the form''s submit action.

Then clicking on the submit button in the pdf document will submit the form contents to the server. Then we can read this request from the server and store the form-field data on to the database.

C#

//through which the PDF form should post data to the server.

PdfSubmitAction action = new PdfSubmitAction("http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/pdf.web/T285/PDFdemo/RequestForms.aspx");

action.DataFormat = SubmitDataFormat.Html;

//Reading Values

string username = Request.Form["username"];

string password = Request.Form["password"];

// Store the values in DataBase

OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(ConnString);

connection.Open();

// The insertSQL string contains a SQL statement that inserts a new row in the source table.

OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(INSERT);

// Set the Connection to the new OleDbConnection.

command.Connection = connection;

command.ExecuteNonQuery();

VB

'through which the PDF form should post data to the server.

Dim action As PdfSubmitAction = New PdfSubmitAction("http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/pdf.web/T285/PDFdemo/RequestForms.aspx")action.DataFormat = SubmitDataFormat.Html

' Reading Values

Dim username As String = Request.Form("username")

Dim password As String = Request.Form("password")

' Store the values in DataBase

Dim connection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(ConnString)

connection.Open()

' The insertSQL string contains a SQL statement that

' inserts a new row in the source table.
