PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________
Our solution to this problem was to put together a web server using a very low-cost version of one of our own products. Users can upload an Acrobat PDF file containing an Acrobat form, the server extracts the form data (field type, position, etc.), the web site rasterizes the PDF with GhostScript, and creates an HTML page or pages that match the original PDF and, instead of Acrobat forms, uses HTML to capture the data.
At that point we can do whatever we like with the data, convert it to FDF, put it in a database, etc.
While not the same as having a PDF file that works anywhere a la Reader, our users didn't think it was too much to ask to have Acrobat form users uploading the PDF to a "fill-in-the-form" web page as long as the web page was free.
If anyone is interested we'd be glad to share details...
