Thansk, Rob. Clearly this is a step toward right direction. Reading up doc on this family tag a bit, it seems to suggest that: a) one could populate a PDF form with preloaded XML data (via the XMLdata Attribute) provided that he/she knows the form structure; b) the PDF form may also be populated via the Child tag of <cfpdfformparam>, e.g. <cfpdfformparam name="employeeId" value="123">. This part also seems to denote that if Value Attribute is blank or omitted, probably such PDF form fields would be inputable (not sure if it's a word, but people get the point). But here again, one has to know FORM fields beforehand. If not, it looks like the READ action could do the job... Has anyone created a process/little app to address this (making a readonly PDF form web editable)? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305729 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
