Greg, What you are actually doing is creating a file that is larger than necessary (PDF) for what can be done with the FDF file format. I used to do it the way you are doing it with the Active PDF toolkit and wasted $250 to do a simple mail or data merge on the PDF form. Now I use my formGenie script to generate the FDF file and "link" back to the PDF template file. This way I am now emailing 3kb files instead of 300kb files. ........................................................

I have a FORM with a couple fields I can set the values if these fields and create a FDF file using oFDF.FDFSaveToFile method from the FDF toolkit (ActiveX flavor). My question is - how can I save the data as a PDF so I dont have to send 2 files to the recipient (FDF and PDF). So far the only solution I have run across is the Appligent solution ($1000). This seems like somehting almost everyone would want to do? Am I missing something? Is there a good reason this functionality isnt available?
