Thank you for both your answers.
The html is very appealing, but what I did not mention is in working
within a rather rigid IT environment.
I won't be able to install a html server. So back to Java executable (which
I can use) unless there is a better way?
But you were already told that you can't execute java programs from a PDF.
You mentioned that you want to submit the data to a database.
Why do you need a PDF at all?

As Tilman wrote, you can submit the data to a server and then handle it
from there, but you can't execute an executable from within the PDF. That
would be a huge security risk, as a Java application can easily delete
files on your system or do all kinds of other damages.

Hi Gilad,
Well - both - using a javascript button on the PDF form to call a java
executeable to submit the data on the form to a database. But it doesnt
sound like javascript can call executeables?
I will probably have to have the form saved to the disk and then have the
java executeable given the path to the file, where it can then scrape the
data to the database?
Cheers

Java or JavaScript? The two are very different, despite the similar
names.
You can't execute a Java file from within a PDF (luckily), but you can
attach (Acrobat) JavaScript code to a button in a PDF and have it
execute
when the button is pressed, yes.
