They only system that I've seen for automating such a thing is Matt Seargent's AxKit (xml.apache.org or www.axkit.org). Otherwise, creating a PDF form scratch is a tedious, tedious x,y coordinate process. If you're looking to fill out a pre-existing report with data from a database, it's very doable using an Adobe form and FDF data. You need Acrobat to create the from in the first place, but writing out the FDF (Forms Data Format) file is fairly trivial. http://www.pryce.net/cgi-bin/editchar.pl Use TestUser:Test to login if you want to see FDF and database interaction with a PDF form. cp
