anyone have experience w/ cfpdfform where there are no field names, just the structured XML names like: topmostSubform[0].Page2[0].f2_25[0] ? I have tried to use the literal names in the cfpdfsubform name="topmostSubform[0]", but that gives an error. I tried it as cfpdfsubform name="topmostSubform" index=1 but the values in <cfpdfformparam ... were not getting filled in. in the case mentioned above the structure is currently cfpdfform .. cfpdfsubform name="topmostSubform" index=1 cfpdfsubform name="Page2" index=1 cfpdfformparam name="f2_25" value="test" /cfpdfsubform /cfpdfsubform /cfpdfform

You can dig up a copy of Adobe Lifecycle, their software for creating forms. The other software you can use that is up-to-date is Adobe Acrobat Pro. You should be able to view which parts of the form have been marked correctly as forms.

I dumped the XML from the document using cfpdfform already to get the structure/names - the issue is the [0] throws an error if used in the "name" value and w/o it no values go in. I was more so looking for help from someone that has successfully filled values into a form that is XFA like this.

Hi @Reuben Brown, There is a bug in CFPDFForm. The form can no longer be populated with XML data of XFA type. See bug ticket https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4223960 The bug report has a workaround which uses cfpdfformparam in place of XML.

I will re-try cfpdfformparam, but last time I tried it I was getting errors like "topmostSubform[0]" is not a valid name
