It looks like you will be using your pdf form as a data entry form on a regular basis. That is entirely different. Will all users have the full version of Adobe Acrobat 6? In order to save the form data they will need it. Instead, why not create a vfp form to capture/edit the form fields on the pdf form and then just print the pdf form from VFP? You can then always store the data directly in your vfp tables from your vfp form instead of worrying about trying to capture the data from changes made to the pdf form. If you try to have the users store the data (or use IA code like I posted in another thread) then your users will require the full version of Acrobat 6 not just the reader.

>Thanks for the tips! BTW, with a simple form that I have with field similar to yours, I'm still not able to export it in a XML data format. This options just is not available. What I have is FDF, XFDF and TXT formats. However, with Acrobat 6.0 Prof. they do indicate that I can export in XML. Maybe I have not installed it correctly, or missing something else!
