Export Formdata as XML
With the Aloaha PDF Saver API Version it is possible to export the formdata to XML.
To be able to access the functions please create the object.
Dim PDF
set PDF = createobject("aloahapdf.edit")
Then you need to load the PDF File into the Memory.
If PDF.load_pdf_to_mem(cstr(c:\form.pdf)) = true then
msgbox "Form loaded to memory"
if PDF.FormFields>0 then
msgbox "PDF is Form"
else
msgbox "PDF is not a Form"
call PDF.unload_pdf_from_mem
end if
else
msgbox "Could not load Form to memory"
end if
Now call the export Function
if PDF.export_formdata(cstr("c:\formdata.xml")) <> "" then
msgbox "PDF Export OK"
else
msgbox "PDF Export Failed"
end if
In some cases it might be more suiteable to retrieve the formdata directly as string
dim XMLSTRING
XMLSTRING = PDF.export_formdata("")
Now please clean up the memory and call unload_pdf_from_mem
