Don, I am working on an app for our inhouse use that will read the PDF into an XML structure then parse those into input tags so users can enter the data in a form and get the PDF with their info. I am also developing a standardized one where i have all the form IDs set-up ahead of time on various submission form PDFs and calling data from the datbase to populate the PDFform values.
The biggest problem is knowing what is in the PDF.... I am too far away from finishing this back burner project to be of any help... Rob > Thansk, Rob. Clearly this is a step toward right direction.
