Asp.net, Adobe Form Submit

Adobe Acrobat - X - I have PDF form with one field called "firstname", and a submit that I set up below

Action >> Mouse Up >> Submit Form >> and Export Format is FDF, Field Selection: All fields.
and URL link is: http://www.abc.com/submitdata.aspx

When the button is clicked, I want to capture firstname value, and send to the server.

How to do that?

I assume I can use submitdata.aspx and do like request.querystring["firstname"] but it does not seem working.

Can you help?

Firstname value is the only thing I want. How to capture it ?
But where is this first name field? On the aspx page or in fdf?

If in fdf, you have to read the fdf and get the value when you click submit.
Inside of the pdf there is field name called firstname
Then you have to read the pdf. Itextsharp is a tool you can use. If you have the fdf... you can read that as well and get the value.

Look into itextsharp.

You can't just click on a button and get a value from off.

Can you have a textbox in your aspx page with the user filling in the name?
Inside of the pdf submit button property, there is fdf options, it get to have a way to extract the data by a click button

Thank for you help - may be we wait for more developers helping me.
oh, the button is inside the PDF?
Maybe Joe Winograd on this forum would know...if you want to PM him and ask him to look at this thread.
I don't know how to get him to help
On top, on the right hand side of this page, you see the "envelope" icon? Click on that and message him. Or, wait and see if others can help.
