Jared asked:
What's the driver behind needing PDF for this solution, if I may
ask?
Primarily the requirement for a user's signature on the form. The
user enters data that's stored and used to populate the form,
then they print the PDF that's populated with their data, sign the
form and mail
I know there are regulations regarding electronic signatures...
SallieMae, who owns my old studen loan, uses e-signatures when you
work with your loan online. I'll log into their site and check out
their docs (like privacy policy) later. Gotta head to a doc's
appointment right now.

I just hit the URL again using IE 6.

The other one said This action is not permitted.
Both of these ocurred while I had Reader open as a standalone app.

BTW... that sample site in ASP isn't working for my version of Reader either.
I get a file currupted message.
I do find that some things just aren't stable with pdfs unless they're
generated with Exchange or something, and even then they're twitchy
and take tuning to get working sometimes.

For the past two years we have had an application that
dynamically populates a PDF form that must be printed, signed

Learning this kind of stuff (ie FOP) is an investment in myself and

I agree Sean. I played with a few of the freebies. The problem with

I already have activePDF Toolkit
solution using FOP is a good alternative. If you know anything about XML the
learning curve is minimal (it took us a day to get everything working).
