Forms and the Acrobat SDK

For XML forms, there are additional properties and methods available only from JavaScript 
that allow you to access XFA-specific objects. You cannot access these objects from a plug-
in or external application.

In particular, Acrobat JavaScript provides access to the XFA 

 container, which 

provides properties and methods to query and manipulate the XML field hierarchy. 

For more information on XML Forms, see the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Guide or the 
Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference.

You can populate forms from a database or using a standards-based network protocol such 
as SOAP. For more information, see 

 and 

.

XML Forms are particularly well suited for populating forms from an external database.

Both Acrobat and XML forms can be used in workflows that require the exchange of 
information over the Web. You can create forms that run in Web browsers, and can submit 
and retrieve information between the client and server by making a Submit button 
available in the form. The button can perform tasks similar to those of HTML scripting 
macros.

For more information, see the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Guide.

With Adobe LiveCycle Designer, you can add interactive barcode form fields for various 
identification purposes, such as product inventory. The bars and characters of interactive 
barcode fields change to encrypt the data that is entered into other associated form fields. 
Users filling out a form with a barcode cannot manually enter data into the barcode form 
field.

You cannot read or modify barcode form fields using the Acrobat SDK.
