Not exactly the answer I was hoping for (-; I've had it work on both my desktop and my laptop. I've got the full version of Adobe Acrobat 4.0 on my desktop, but I'm pretty sure I've only got the free writer on my laptop, which is why I discounted that initially. I'll have to go check and see what version I have on my laptop.
So, it sounds like you're saying I've got to create the PDF on the fly server-side, right? That would be a better solution anyway--I hate the way the FDF/PDF merging happens anyway. Thanks, though. If anybody knows of a way other than activepdf, I am, like Ross Perot, all ears. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Brady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 1:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: FDF/PDF Wierdness >I save the merged PDF/FDF to my desktop and then open that file, I see the >PDF populated with the content from the FDF. > >However, on other machines in our office, if I follow the identical >procedure, when I open the "merged" PDF/FDF from the desktop, all I see is >the PDF in it's original state. This just makes no sense to me. I assume you have the full version of Acrobat on your machine, right? Merged PDFs like that can not be saved on machines that only have Acrobat Reader, but can be on machines that have non-free versions of Acroabt (such as the full version and probably some of the cheaper "lite" versions). The only way around this (short of buying Acrobat for all your users) is to actually create PDFs with the info filled in (not via the FDF method). http://www.activepdf.com/ is one way, but it's pricey. I believe there are cheaper ways to do it, which I'm sure someone else will recommend.
