I'm still here. It is as simple as changing the cVerb to 'Post' and adding the body. But I would refer to the latest API for the version of Acrobat reader you are targeting.
@cabrams007 - This would be one example of how to accomplish what my previous post said:
Something like this should work:
// Create some Stream object:
strObj = this.createDataObject("myData", "This is the data");
// Make HTTP POST request
ajax = app.trustedFunction(function(fURL) {
app.beginPriv();
Net.HTTP.request({ cVerb:"POST", cURL:fURL, oRequest: strObj, oHandler: ajaxCallback});
app.endPriv();
});
Go here and search for Net.HTTP methods:

Randy,
I have asked this question to a couple of forum and no one has answered. I'm trying to upload a PDF file to URL using a PDF form. The response from the HTTP server should read ("resultCode=SUCCESS&fileAuthToken=65922027422002491920600182984091022955832") The server only accept post commands.
My goal is to emulate this simple form I currently use for testing.
`
Choose a file to upload:`
So is it as simple as using the file location as the strObj variable in your example?
strObj = this.createDataObject("D:\Wellpath\LDD_DON_NEO_Guide.pdf","");
@randycasburn I also used the same script above to make a get request but instead, I am getting an [ object aggregate ] error. I don't know which kind of error is this. Can you help with this?

Hi @nishant0013,
I don' think that is truly the error ([ object aggregate ]). That is simply the output of printing a JS object to the console. I'll need to see the actual error text and probably any modifications you've made before I'll be able to assist you.
Hey, how do I send one request, get a value from the response, then use that value in a second request?
Nevermind, I just had to create another trusted function for the second request, and then call that function from the callback for the first request, feeding the value into it.
It works for me. But how do I get the oResult.id for instance into a field (of the PDF file) instead of the console? Any help appriciated.

Hi fclcodan - replace the console.log() with .getField(name). Assign the field object to a variable and then simply assign the variable a value. That should do it. Something like this:
var fieldObj = this.getField('myFieldName');
fieldObj.value = oResult.id;
The docs can be found here: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/library/jsapiref/JS_API_AcroJS.html#field
If I want to run a specific GET or POST request in a Adobe Javascript Button can I call your script to run it?
Also, after update of Adobe will be deleted?
I want to send a post request similar to this:
function leerenboard() {
try {
var campoVuoto = false; // Variabile di controllo
var campoVuotoNome = null; // Memorizza il nome del campo vuoto
var selectboard = 1;
var dati = {
selectboard: selectboard
};
var datiJSON = JSON.stringify(dati);
// Invia app.launchURL con i dati della singola riga
var url = "https://localhost/script/scriptleeren.php?dati=" + encodeURIComponent(datiJSON);
app.launchURL(url, true);
if (!campoVuoto) {
console.println("Tutti i dati sono stati inviati con successo.");
} else {
console.println("Nessun dato da inviare o campo vuoto trovato.");
console.println("Campo vuoto individuato: " + campoVuotoNome);
}
} catch (e) {
console.println("Errore durante l'invio dei dati: " + e);
}
}
String.prototype.capitalize = function() {
return this.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + this.slice(1);
};
@xator91 - Mirko - What have you tried? What didn't work?

I have a PHP script that wait for a get request through URL, and i want that work without opening an external browser, is that possible?
- Now it works. Thanks.
I see that this post is over two years old but hopefully you're still available. Have you created any examples of the Net.HTTP request for the "post" method?
