Is there a Google Apps Script that can retrieve form data from a fillable pdf form and export it to my Google Drive when I click submit form? I don't need the complete document to be exported, it's only a selected field (image-field) that I particularly need to be exported. I am working from Adobe Acrobat Pro. I'm sorry I have no code to show what I have tried so far because I am a novice in this.

According to Adobe, submitForm () function is one of the most flexible ways of moving data in and out of a form as it uses GET to send or receive data from a web server. Where the submitForm () has a variety of input arguments for just about any data format from the entire pdf to images.
One forum (on Adobe Library), raised an exact question, and a brief response provided to look into Google Apps Script. I found a similar question on stack overflow - the user wanted a form submission from their Site to GDrive Spreadsheet using GAS. Whereas I have a standalone PDF form, and on form submission, I need the (image) data from the pdf form exported to my GDrive Folder.

My Qualtrics survey consists of the Likert type and file response questions, a survey can be previewed here. Preview screenshot also attached below. This is linked to another question which I posted on this topic, where I am trying to submit survey response from a Unity Game. I can submit the response to Likert type questions by creating a CSV file and then calling the API, but how do I submit the txt/csv file as a response to the second question for the same response(Engagement data dump through API call). Another workaround I thought was to use a text-box as the second question where I can dump the entire data, but the problem is that Qualtrics text-box allows responses smaller than 20k characters only.
If Qualtrics doesn't support this, is there any other way to google sheet API or Google API script that lets you do that?
I have a PDF which has a submit button which will submit the PDF fields as an html form to my web API. The submit part works, however it is sending the request payload in a format I have never seen before
Also the request doesn't show the content-type being sent. I supposed it was being sent as application/octet-stream so I added this custom MediaTypeFormatter I found and it still didn't work.
I am filling the PDF fields using iTextSharp and the sending it to the client. The client creates a BLOB URL to display it in an iframe. I noticed that the problem is due to this, because when opening the PDF by itself and filling the data manually and then submitting it works fine, so the problem has to be either when I fill the form fields or when I create the BLOB URL in the client.
That's an Adobe format called FDF (Forms Data Format) but that's just one option for the submit format. You can also submit the data as the equivalent of an HTML GET using the settings shown in the images below.
If your API can accept data from HTML forms, it should work from Acrobat as well.
I am posting this here because I cannot find ANY help online with this specific issue.
Here is what I'm trying to do:
In Adobe InDesign, I've created an ebook which I've exported as an interactive pdf. On the last page are share links. I cannot find out how to create a pre-populated email link that would open an email client with a blank "To" field, a subject line and simple body text which includes a link.
There's tons of explanations on how to do this with html, but I'm not creating html pages. I'm creating an interactive pdf.
Any suggestions?

BTW: I've posted on Adobe forums with no response.
Use a button with a gotoUrl behaviour and type in:
mailto:name#company.com?subject=mySubjects&body=myTexte
I have process that I want to do that I'm not sure it is possible. I am using iTextSharp to generate and populate a PDF with collected data that a user has entered in a previous screen.
Then the PDF is saved to a SQL Server Database as binary data. Then it is pulled back for the user to view in the browser if they would like too.
It is possible to generate the PDF, do not flatten the form, and then allow the user to edit areas that may have not been prefilled by the users information. Then I will need to be able to save this back to the database.
I have some findings on using a adobe submit button that submits the pdf to a URL that would collect the data, but I want to know if iTextSharp is capable of this. Using ASP.NET or another example.
I do not want to save the form field information, but save the whole pdf to the database with some sort of submit button.
I want to convert my client registration form online.I want to have
PHP Form with validation

Backoffice should be able to view all forms filled & able to create csv file for same.
Can i achieve my requirement using Joomla?
I am new to joomla.
Please see this link: http://www.rsjoomla.com/joomla-extensions/joomla-form.html
RSForm Pro has the feature to download the form submission in PDF form. You will have to specify the layout of the PDF in the extension itself.
