You won't find any simple example, because what you are asking is one of the most complex issues in PDF. My advice: tell the person who asked you to do this job, that the given PDF document IS NOT A TEMPLATE!!! Ask him to provide a PDF template that contains form fields (preferably in AcroForm format). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
