so, if I have pdf files, not the word docs that made them, and I want to

fill in areas, I assign a variable and a place (shape and size too?) on
a pdf document to then be populated by values returned from a query?

Tony,


Take a look at FDF generation using Acrobat...  Basically what this does
is create a text field of all the form elements on the pdf document and
their values.  I typically substitue a dummy value in each field that I
need to populate (like $value$) to make it easier to replace in
ColdFusion.


If you need any help, let me know.  I've deployed a couple of sites that
use FDF files to create dynamic values in my pdfs.


Cheers,


Jeff Garza

hello all.

im about to start looking into options for some sort of tool that I can
use to fill in district court forms (that are in pdf format) and then
have them printed.  I have come across HotDocs, but im not sure if
that's what im looking for.

any ideas?

thanks.
