Instead, I now need to call a COM object and supply a client ID that will be used in a query. The COM object will reply with a string containing the field values that I need to populate the form.
OK - that's up to you to handle since it's out of the PDF realm...
I have the Adobe 6.0 SDK, but don't know quite where to start to find out how to call this COM object and then to have it "listen" and accept the string and use it to fill in the PDF fields.
First, is this a desktop or server-based solution? It sounds like it's a server, in which case you may not be permitted to do this based on Adobe's EULA. You should read the EULA and determine that for yourself.
Second, you won't be able to "just pass the string" - you will need to parse the string into field/value pairs and then you can set the values of each field.
