This makes a HTTP GET request from within Adobe Acrobat

acrobat_get.js

/*
 This file must be placed with the user JavaScript file location or the Acrobat JavaScript file location.

 Once installed, 
 1. Open any PDF file in Acrobat
 2. Pull down [File] and click [Get Mock Data]
 3. Open the JavaScript Debug Console to view output.
 
 /--------------/
 1. Adds new menu item to File menu of Acrobat - Get Mock Data
 2. Calls jsonplaceholder mock data service and requests post id # 1 to be returned
 3. Upon return, prints any errors to the console, converts the stream to a string, convers the string to a JS object and prints 
 the object properties and values to the console.

// Make HTTP GET request
ajax = app.trustedFunction(function(fURL) {
    app.beginPriv();
    Net.HTTP.request({ cVerb:"GET", cURL:fURL,  oHandler: ajaxCallback});
    app.endPriv();
});
// process the response
ajaxCallback = {
    response:function(msg,uri,e){
        var stream = msg;
        var string = "";
        var error = e == undefined? 'No HTTP errors' : "ERROR: " + e;
        string = SOAP.stringFromStream( stream );
        oResult = JSON.parse(string);

        console.println(error);
        console.println( "id: " + oResult.id);
        console.println( "userId: " + oResult.userId);
        console.println( "title: " + oResult.title);
        console.println( "body: " + oResult.body);
    }
};
// Add menu item to kick it all off 
app.addMenuItem({
     cName: "Get Mock Data", cParent: "File",
     cExec: 'ajax("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1");',
     nPos: 0});

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.
