Hi, Nope, don't work with Ian Pettman. I've read that article, which is for classic asp. I have also read http://www.aspnextgen.com/howto/default.aspx?id=26 which explains the same for ASP.NET and I think I got a hang of it now. However, you do need server components installed. You have to download the Adobe FDF Toolkit.
