We use ActivePDF here, to do everything you have mentioned here. Pretty good. The only thing is that it is COM, which ties you to windows, and can be a performance issue in MX. java-com bridge. You can do all the things you mention using pdf forms to. You can even have javascript in PDF too..
Check out cfcomet.com too. We also do a lot of xslfo stuff for a reporting engine we have built. ActivePDF is more suitable to the requirements listed. WG -----Original Message----- From: Jim Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 June 2003 05:10 To: CF-Talk Subject: Active PDF? Howdy - I have a client who wanted to convert a number of Word-created forms to PDF's and put them up on their site. No sweat. Then, they wanted the user to be able to fill out form fields and have Acrobat do all the math, and they could print out a nice, cleanly filled-out form to sign and fax. Again, no problem at all. Now, however, they'd like to take the final step and have fully interactive PDF's - where certain dynamic fields are populated from database information, and the user can "submit" the PDF like they would any other web form and have CF process it accordingly. I've looked at ActivePDF, but before I dive into that, I wanted to send out some feelers to the group to see if anyone's worked with that with CF5 before. Money's not an object (to a point), so if there's a particularly awesome package there I should look into, I'm open to some suggestions. I am fiddling with XSL:FO syntax right now, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for, since I have to work off a previously-existing document (and I don't have a great deal of time to really get elbow-deep in *yet another* XML spec.) :) Thanks, - Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
