I would use VB to take the .csv file and create a corresponding FDF file for each record. This could be done without any reference to or need for Acrobat. Basically creating the FDF file using the FDFtoolkit and VB Take a look at the FDFtoolkit it is very powerful. http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/forms.html Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hartford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 4:59 PM Subject: Re: [PDFdev] processing a collection of files > > PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com > _____________________________________________________________ > > That would be one solution.

I've used VB a lot for making little ad-hoc apps such as file parsers and such but I haven't had any success in finding any documentation, books or external resources that help explain the process of exposing external objects (or references), such as Acrobat or Distiller, from within VB. > > Thanks > Chuck Hartford > > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/06/20 1:47:34 pm >>> > > PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com > _____________________________________________________________ > > What about creating a PDF form as a template and then using > your .csv file and VB to populate the fields in the PDF form. ? > > Would be a solution ? > > Ben > AlQemy > > Save Form Data using Adobe Reader > Download a sample - "SaveForm.pdf" @ > http://www.alQemy.com > > Adobe Solution Network > > Greenville, SC USA > 864.284.9918 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chuck Hartford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 4:20 PM > Subject: [PDFdev] processing a collection of files > > > Hi there, > > I have a .csv file containing a collection of records.
