Look into the populate action of cfpdfform (CF 8).

Re: PDF Manipulation
I am still on version 7, so I don't know if there is a new way to do this, but I made use of a tag that Ben Forta put together a while back to achieve this. Unfortunately I cannot come up with the name of the tag, but a quick search of the Adobe developers exchange should find it for you in short order. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303330 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
PDF Manipulation
Good Day, Quick question, someone at my workplace has suggested that we provide our PDF forms auto filled with user information (based on login). We already have all of the forms with user enterable data (you know what I mean, you can type information into the PDF) is there anyway using the new PDF manipulation tools to pass the required information to the PDF to pre-populate those user entered areas? Or do I have to do what I think is required, and re-code the forms into ColdFusion Report Builder so that they are totally in sync with my on-line delivery?

Re: PDF Manipulation
While I appreciate everyone's input, I thought CFDocument was a MX 7 feature? I did look at iText, but haven't found anything within it that I might convert a PDF to an image. I'll take another look, but if anyone already has some insight please share.
