Problem with ObjectAttributeStr

[calvin]

I am using VFP and am having a problem setting the values of fields in a PDF file. I know there is a field named "Amount" in the open PDF. When I run
Create PdfViewer Object
Set License
Open PDF file and then attempt to set a value using
pdfviewer.ObjectAttributeStr("Amount","Value","56")
I get an OLE unspecified error.

I would appreciate any help you can give.

Hello,

Please call:

pdfviewer.ObjectAttribute("Amount","Value","56")

I am not sure which application you are using but in genearl you need to assign the value 56 to the Field object so you need to call something similar to:

pdfviewer.ObjectAttribute("Amount","Value") = 56

Hope this helps, if not please send us an e-mail to support@amyuni.com

Thanks.

I found out that the problem was that I was not setting the page number now was I setting the form status. I wish there were more code samples around.

Hello Calvin,

Please give more details about how you solved this issue and what was really the problem.

so others who maybe facing the same problem and reading this thread will know what to do.

We are currently preparing more samples for the PDF Creator.

Thanks.

The problem was solved when Jose sent me code samples. That code is:
#DEFINE acCommandToolRunDocument 53776
#DEFINE acReportStateRun 0
#DEFINE acReportStateDesign 1
#DEFINE acReportStateLoading 2


PDFviewer = CREATEOBJECT("PDFCreactiveX.PDFCreactiveX")
PDFviewer.setlicenseKey ("Suite Evaluation
Version","07EFCDAB010001001DB5BDE6C025C760E6DFC8F69516B8E88246C496DA67FA90D447CE

AE0D84D10A52")
PDFviewer.Open("c:\temp\g7m_fi.pdf","")

&& Move to current page - not clear in manual
PDFviewer.currentpage = 1

&&change report state - not clear in manual
PDFviewer.reportstate = acReportStateDesign

&& Change the value of the sample object. This object must exist
&& I am using VFP , others would use the comand ObjectAttribute
PDFviewer.ObjectAttributeStr("Amount", "Text", "56")

&& compile changes - not clear in manual
PDFviewer.DoCommandTool(acCommandToolRunDocument)

&& otherwise document will print off page in all likelihood
PDFviewer.ScaleToPrinter = 3

&& Prompt for printer name
PDFviewer.Print("", 1)
PDFviewer= .NULL.
