ASP

Because this is for printing purposes so the form needs to look indentical
to the pdf/doc file that I have.  I probably could replicate it in HTML, but
it would take time to get it to look exactly right, so I was hoping to use
the form that I already have to save time.

I'm thinking that using ASP/Word I can somehow do a dynamic find/replace of
data into the Word template?

| Subject: [wdvltalk] Output form data to pdf file
|
|
| Hi guys,
|
| I have an online application form that is writing to a
| database.  All is swell there.  However upon completing the
| application form I'd like to then display (or email) the data
| entered back to the user for them to print in a neatly formatted form.
|
| Now I already have the neatly formated form in pdf format
| that I need to have the output look identical to, so I was
| wondering how difficult is would be to somehow populate this
| pdf file with  my data fields for printing purposes??  Has
| anyone done this type of thing before?  Can you point me in
| the direction of some good resources/references?
|
| This may be more a pdf question I guess, but I am also open
| to other ideas on how best to get this data into a format
| that replicates my pdf file.  I don't really want to have to
| spend hours writing HTML to get a replica, so that's why I'd
| like to use my existing pdf file somehow.
|
| Any thoughts?
|
| Cheers
|
| Heath
