Does the pdf viewer allow you to edit the fields when viewing (like Adobe Reader does) once the fields are populated using your method below? In other words, once you stuff the values, if the user edits the values on the pdf form (instead of in your app) then can you capture the changes?

>What I am doing, at this point, is strickly on local machines and peer to peer networks. That aside, I am not using XML or FDF. In Amyumi, each field is an object which can have its text set directly. The code looks something like this:

>#DEFINE acCommandToolRunDocument 53776
>#DEFINE acReportStateRun 0
>#DEFINE acReportStateDesign 1
>#DEFINE acReportStateLoading 2

>PDFviewer = CREATEOBJECT("PDFCreactiveX.PDFCreactiveX")

>cFile=TRIM(vpdf.pdfname ) && get the pdf file and open it
>cfile=ADDBS(oapp.masterexepath)+'pdf\'+cfile
>pdfviewer.Open(cfile,'')

>PDFviewer.currentpage = 1
>PDFviewer.reportstate = acReportStateDesign
