I've never processed the acrobat form data, but from what I understand,
they're just standard form fields

The client could see a link to a prepopulated fdf file, or they could
see a link to cfm template that serves up the fdf file via cfcontent.
Inside the fdf file is a link pointing back to the pdf file.

You can save the FDF file which when clicked will open acrobat and
populate the remote pdf form with data. I don't know if you can save
the pdf file with the data stored in it or not. I don't have acrobat
here to test it.
