Quick Start: Exporting form data using the web service API

The following C# code example exports data from a PDF form. The form data is saved to an XML file named formData.xml.

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.IO ; 

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

	class Class1

	{

		[STAThread]

		static void Main(string[] args)

		{

			try

			{

				//Create a FormDataIntegrationService object and set 

				//authentication values

				FormDataIntegrationService dataIntClient = new FormDataIntegrationService();

				dataIntClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("administrator", "password");

				//Reference a PDF form

				BLOB inPDFForm = new BLOB();

				string path = "C:\\Adobe\\Loan.pdf";

				FileStream fsPDF = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open);

				//Get the length of the file stream 

				int lenPDF = (int)fsPDF.Length; 

				byte[] bytePDF=new byte[lenPDF];

				//Populate the byte array with the contents of the FileStream

				fsPDF.Read(bytePDF, 0, lenPDF);

				inPDFForm.binaryData = bytePDF; 

				//Export data from the PDF form

				BLOB result = dataIntClient.exportData(inPDFForm);

				//Populate the byte array with form data located in the BLOB object

				byte[] outByteArray = result.binaryData;

				//Save the form data as formData.xml

				string FILE_NAME = "C:\\Adobe\\formData.xml";

				FileStream fs2 = new FileStream(FILE_NAME, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

				BinaryWriter w = new BinaryWriter(fs2);

				w.Write(outByteArray);

				w.Close();

				fs2.Close();

			}

			catch(Exception ee)	

			{

				Console.WriteLine("An unexpected exception was encountered: "+ee.Message + "\n" + ee.StackTrace);

			}

		}

	}

}
