PBox Newbie Seeking Immediate Solution (and Hand w/ Building A PDFBox Instance)
Blessings and Peace:
Greetings to ALL.
I am seeking an immediate PDF-to-Database solution. (Description below.)
Secondly, I'd like to work w/ a mentor around installing PDF Box on
Sandstorm.
First things first. Please advise as to a PDFBox installation that can
facilitate the following:
*App Mission:* have two seperate PDF (fill and store) forms submit data to
Knack
(Note: one form contains data and an actual
signature. The other
contain a single field of data and several photos.)
*App Method: * 1) Have both forms dump their content into a single row
(photo form last) 2) Append each PDF
document as an element in the row
*App Result: * The result is a dbase row that contains ALL data from
both PDFs *AND*that has each PDF
appended and a row element
(Note: entire database should be easily exported
in Excel format)
In Service of The ONENESS,
Rafiki Cai

That’s not a database, it’s a simply an HTTP server which receives form POST requests
and routes them to SharePoint.
PDF form submission is simply an HTTP request, any web server can receive the payload
from a PDF form. PDFBox doesn’t play a role in that process, other than the fact that you
can create and fill the forms using PDFBox. PDFBox doesn’t give you a web server, or a
database.

Rafiki,
I am seeking an immediate PDF-to-Database solution.
Urgency demands on a public, community-supported list are never taken well
<http://www.che.ncsu.edu/bullard/Professional_Development/Electronic%20etiquette.htm>
.
In fairness, my inquiry is not about dbasea in general, but
exclusively PDF driven
> dbases.
No, your underlying question is REALLY about design, because what you're
asking for doesn't readily exist, just like a flying car
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnF2yua4KIw>.
Once you have the record injection working in (i.e. Java) without PDFBOX,
then your specific, PDFBOX-specific questions become relevant. Otherwise,
you may have luck looking on Freelancer, Fiverr, Craigslist, or via a
Bounty.
This may seem strange that PDFBOX doesn't offer such a thing, as some
form-based technologies (such as InfoPath) support direct database
bindings... but you'll also notice that these solutions tend to be
expensive, proprietary, closed source, and very platform specific.

There is no such thing as a "PDF driven database". Besides, while it is
possible to submit field data from a PDF file (see the thread I
mentioned), this is somewhat exotic. If you're starting with nothing,
the usual way to go is to fill fields from a browser input, and then
create a PDF in your server application.

Probably a venue that offers cloud databases. (Your question was "What
I'm seeking is a cloud database form the forms to submit to")
This mailing list is best for specific questions about PDFBox.

Greeting, John:
My inaugural PDF forms are already functioning with
fill, save and submit capabilities.
What I'm seeking is a cloud database form the forms to submit to.
I'm certainly hoping I'm not "on my own". I'm hoping that either
a) some Boxer has already crafted a PDF form-to-database or
b) some Boxer has the sufficient skill set and just needed an adequate
prompting
The whole intent of list serves are to not be on your own, but

Hi Rafiki,
Can PDFBox fill in forms? Yes. We have some examples in the org.apache.pdfbox.examples
package. Beyond that, you’re on your own.
