Off Topic------ Do you know if it is possible to Take a PDF document and layover form fields, and have those fields populated by a database for output to a printer?? Or, do you have to create a PDF form from scratch?? Is there software available to make the generation of PDF forms easier?? Thanks for your help Laurie S.

User entry data are recorded on the DB, and merge this data on the form whenever the user calls this form. If the data is not complete, again use a field in the database to present the data has not been finalised yet. This might be because my knowledge of Acrobat is not as good as many others in the forum, but I have done this situation using CFM/ASP and DB & PDF Templates over the web successfully, (I use FDFMergeLite to merge the data on the form on the server).

So I also struggled with the same problem (resetting the form on page close (or open)), until I realized that if *another* user accesses the same form, the data entered by the previous user of the form is not visible. I would think that it is currently impossible for your users to save a form back to the server after making entries; if not, I would think that the IT staff could restrict the rights of users so that they could not write to the server. -----Original Message----- From: Benedix, Clyde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 9:28 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [PDF-Forms] Multiple Page Forms PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Friends, I am truly impressed with the knowledge base of the participants of the list! Every day, I am learning new things that improve my ability to create useful PDF forms. My question today is one that has stumped me for months. I initially posted it on the Adobe Forum Page but got tired of checking for an answer after several months. Using Acrobat 4.0, I have a number of multi-page forms that I have posted on our department's Intranet site. I am applying security to each document (changing document and select text or graphics). I have tried to set page action on page close (or open) to "reset form" in order to make sure that a clean copy remains on the server. When I do that, multi-page forms reset the first page when you move to the second page and vice versa. The process works fine for single page forms! Staff need to be able to access, complete, save to their desktop, email and print forms. (We are not at the stage where we would use the FPF format - long story). Without the page action, I am afraid that staff will leave completed forms on the server. Is there a way I can permit the completion of multiple page forms (online or on the desktop once saved) and have the page action reset the form just to be safe. Again, I appreciate all of the information that is provided on this list and look forward to your suggestions or advice.
