>Is this correct? >What software do I get to do this? To update the Acrobat file itself to add in fields, you'd need the full version Acrobat. (There could be another mid-level version I'm not thinking of, but you need something more than the free Reader)
>Where do FDF files come in to play. >What are FDF files to PDF files? FDF files contain the actual data you're putting into the PDF form fields. You end up "merging" them. >>From reading it looks like once I have a PDF template I can update the field values >using <cfobject > and some product like activePDF tool kit. You really only NEED activePDF (or something similar) if you want the users to be able to save the generated PDF files with the fields filled out. If you just want them to print it (without being able to save the files), you can do it all within CF. (I believe there is a custom tag which can do this for you) Scott -------------------------------- Scott Brady http://www.scottbrady.net/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
