Hi Claude, It depends what you mean by interactive. My app takes data from the user using standard (HTML or flash) CF Forms, save the data in the database, and then produce a PDF rendition of the data in PDF format. Is that not useful in your situation ?.
You can do that with CF 8 standard edition. Good support for CSS style sheet attributes. Common Page Header and Foooters. Automatic page sizing/fitting to a defined paper size (can get in the way if you are not aware of it). Automatic pagination not so good, I found I had to sort this out by counting lines and programmatically inserting page breaks exactly wheer I wanted it. (css attributes for page-break-before etc not working the best). Two methods for delivery of dynamic PDF's that complement each other: a) build HTML/CFML pages that deliver the page in PDF format by using the cfdocument tag. You can deliver pages in-line (ie not saved on the server but delivered to the browser as PDF files) or you can generate PDF files on the filesystem of the server then do with them as you wish. b) You can join existing PDF files i.e. as static content. Maybe you can use this pathway. Generate the forms using Acrobat, and then generate dynamic pages with personalised logo etc and join them together. However, if you must deliver 100% PDF electronic/interactive forms that themselves get filled in, I do not beleive that works in this version (as the other man said). The documentation not 100% clear on this point however, so it may be possible somehow.
