Hi folks, Finally got cf9 installed and I'm excited about doing some things with pdf forms but am also a bit confused from what I've read and tried thus far about populating and already existing pdf form. I have an existing pdf form from the Medicare folks and I want to populate some of the fields with data from a query before displaying it to the browser. What I've done so far is to crack open the form in acrobat pro to identify all the fields. After discovering that pretty much all of the field names needed to be changed to valid variable names before I could use them, I did so then dumped the form to the screen to make sure all of the names would fly as valid variable names.
What I want to end up with is the very same pdf form served up in the browser with some (not all) fields pre-populated from a query. I guess my first question is, what is the sequence of events to accomplish this? I've read the material on livedocs at http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_p-q_03.html but I am still confused about what I need to do first, do I have to literally recreate the pdf form to output it to the browser? Can someone please show me the light? TIA Bob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
