Might have helped if I'd read your message more thoroughly! I've seen PDF Forms done (IRS forms are PDF - fill them in and print them) but don't know about stuffing the fields.

Have you considered OLE Automation with a Word template? I do that for one client and they even have their customer contracts completely automated. It's easy - I do it with a giant case statement with an entry for each different field. You can lock the file so that ONLY the fields can be changed after VFP has entered the data, or you can lock it so the user can only review/print it.

>Thanks, but Rick's stuff (I have his classes as part of the "free goodies" you can download for his book) seems to only deal with printing to the PDF driver in order to make a full PDF from within VFP. What I am interested in is automating/opening an Acrobat Form from within VFP, filling out the form contents with VFP, and then doing something else with it.
