Hi Sergey,

We are looking at Adobe options now. What plug-in are you referring to and do you know the licensing requirements for it?

>>We are currently sending data from our app to PDF forms that designed in Adobe Acrobat. These are not Foxpro reports printed in PDF format, but actually Adobe PDF forms created with fields. We create the appropriate .xfdf (xml) file with the appropriate tags and values taken from data in our app. We store the pdf file in a memo field and launch it dynamically by creating the PDF file on the hard disk, launching Adobe Reader using the .xfdf file and the fillable form is launched in Adobe Reader and the user can edit the contents of the fields if h/she desires in Adobe Reader and then print the form from Reader. We then delete the .pdf form and the .xfdf file when Adobe closes. This all works great and just as we intended.

>>However, we are now hoping to find a means of not loading Adobe Reader at all, but loading the PDF form inside a VFP form. I have seen some controls that allow a pdf form to be viewed inside VFP forms but not any so far that allow editable fields in a PDF to be edited. We are hoping to remove the requirement for Adobe Reader and handle everything internally in VFP by using third party controls if necessary. We still need to use the actual Acrobat PDF created form because there are over 500 forms that are industry standard, change periodically, and we purchase the form itself from ACORD.

>>Does anyone know of any controls that allow this capability? It does not have to be free as long as runtime distribution fees are minimal.
