I create the .pdf forms using Acrobat. Then I store it in a memo field and create it on the fly at the client's site and create an .xfdf file to populate the form fields. Now the issue is allowing the user to see it an print at their site and using acrobat reader would be ideal. It is free and it should work like any other .exe. However, that not being true, I will have to research other means of allowing the user to view the pdf and populate the form fields. Do you know of any tools out there that allow the user to view a pdf and print it? I don't need the ability to create the .pdf (already doing that).

Adobe blindly sits there in memory chewing up about 37mb, just waiting around for another chance to view a pdf... it's about the most piggish program that I've ever seen in this respect. I assume that is because it takes so bloody long for the stupid thing to load all of it's addins in the first place. Anyway I've gotten in the habit of taskmanagering the stupid thing to get rid of it.

>>When I start either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader using createprocess as in the code below, it starts fine. However, when I close either app (acrobat or reader), it appears that the process never ends under windows task manager so the waitforsingleobject never stops waiting. I have to go to windows task manager and kill the process for waitforsingleobject to stop waiting.
