Hi Mike. As Naomi wrote, it can be done and it is not difficult. Just something new to learn. :o) Are you creating your own pdf forms (or are they provided without form fields) and putting form fields on them (using full version of Adobe Acrobat)? Do the pdf forms already exist with form fields? There are many methods of populating pdf form fields with data, my personal choice is not to do it with fdf or xfdf but rather xml OR using a 3rd party tool like Gnostice. Some of the 3rd party tools available make it VERY simple. We simply set the tag property of each control on a vfp form to match the name of the form field on the pdf form (case sensitive on pdf forms) and then looped through each control and used Gnostice activex tool to populate each form field with the value in the control. Easy. Gnostice has vfp examples (I used them and modified them to work and then sent them back to gnostice). There are other 3rd party tools as well. Here on the UT I think I also have fdf and xfdf code examples for doing it without a 3rd party tool.
