Thanks again, but
I have a PDF with an AcroForm. No fields are filled in initially
how do you created this PDF with AcroForm?
Acrobat 7 can create AcroForms; make sure Adobe LiveCycle doesn't
start, just add annotations (text field, button,... annotations).
Do you use a designer or a library to create it?
You could use iText to create the AcroForm, but only if you want
to do it programmatically. If you want a GUI, you would need
a tool like JPedal in combination with iText.

These are the 2 STEPS that I have to implement:
STEP 1.
I want to create a PDF with HTML or FDF like you suggest, and some
fields
on the Client side (like a template) with a designer tool and then
upload it to server side.
OK. See above, this can be done with Acrobat.
STEP 2.
I'll use iText to prefill some of the template fields on the fly.

The end-user fills in the missing fields or updates the fields that
were prefilled by db
and he clicks on the submit button.
Have you some examples?
I have written a book about it. Unfortunately it is not published yet.
For the moment you will have to work with the stuff that is on the
mailing list or in the tutorial.
