Well I am a programmer and know JavaScript, perl, cgi, etc. So that shouldn't be a problem. My main concern is setting in all the fields for the form - now that's something I haven't done before. And I can find NO documentation on 6.0 to find out if that function has been improved at all. But thanks for the tips. -----Original Message----- From: MacNaughton, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 2:46 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [PDF-Forms] 6.0 vs 5.0 PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ It's not a simple answer I'm afraid. It's no problem to convert your Word or excel documents to Adobe 5.0 pdf through printing to distiller or using the addins. It only takes a little bit of skill to create form feilds in the pdf for data entry. The real problem is getting the data to a database. I've been studying this important link for 2 months and still find it very problematic. All I now about 6.0 is they want more money for the same functionality in that you will need to get the pro version to make forms & no mention has been made of an upgrade to the ADBC interface. You will need to learn or hire someone who knows javascript and or perl/cgi/sql - good luck Just the facts - Rob -----Original Message----- From: Riopelle, Jodi (J.L.)

(They will be stored in a database) I own 5.0 and know I can do what I need to do, but I'm curious if I upgrade to 6.0 if there are advantages. If anyone knows of any it would be greatly appreciated.
