Are you working with Ian Pettman? (he just posted a PDF question to visbas!) If all you're looking to do is to fill in a predefined form with values, then rolling your own PDF is dead easy. What you want to do is create your form in Acrobat and define the form fields. Then dynamically create an FDF that points to the PDF and indicates the values to be filled in. You do NOT need a server component nor do you need a special application. This article is a good start about FDF's.
