BGOL Help: Weird Tech Question

[johniz]

My employer has a database (looks like thr old tree from roum set-ups) based in Europe, we are in NYC and the forms that populate when double-clicking are Adobe PDF.

Is there a way to configure it so that when someone either downloads the PDF into their own computer or I do it from our end, that certain answers triggers a flag to prompt more action from my end.

In other words, they complete or are completing a health form they check YES on a checkbox and it shold trigger an action from my end.

thanks and let me know if it is possible?

Is this a products our organization will have toi buy? Can it be done through an external databse.

I am NIOT an IT person, and our IT is outsourced.

thanks btw..I was thinking MySQL could do it but it seems harder than that due to third-party software (Adobe PDF)

have you ever used it? Is it easy to do or does it require coding/programming expertise?

I've never used it. May have demo'd't, but yes it's a purchase item. Adobe is very proprietary. Read up on it, watch YouTubes on it & find tutorials. It shouldn't be too coding related, but know your fields and objects. Do you have Acrobat pro? Try to see it they share functions, that achieve the same ends. It's great for PDF basers.
If you need it for home use, for work for home then, find it. PDFs are Adobe's crack. I'll link it, if I can.

just the basics...it's not for me...it's for my job and I am unsure as to how it would be don as the IT is outsourced.

But I will look out for the link

Adobe® LiveCycle® Designer ES4 software See Adobe's page, its 299. It may be too involved. see for yourself. They have a chat window, if it pops up, ask them.

Find if you can do the same with Acrobat Pro Click these links to test the wares. Find out from the manufacturer if what you're trolling for can be done w/ which of these. I'm thinking Acrobat Pro, would do you right.

Good Lucks
