[TSWA]

Hello, In my company we have installed Acrobat Reader in all the computers. Many paper forms was developed and converted to PDF and the user only need to fill the Fields into the PDF, the PDF file is accesed from the Intranet. I want to know if is possible open the form in Acrobat, fill the form and execute commands from the PDF file(the data come from a Table)

Thanks in advance,

Marlon

In order to modify a PDF file, you would require the full version of Adobe Acrobat, the reader is just a reader, no possibilities to edit files. Mike Gagnon

Hello Mike, is possible to install only the Driver to do that on any PC or need to install the Acrobat Writer and the Driver or sometthing like that.

We need Only Fill the PDF and Print the Form.

I Installed Acrobat Writer 5.xx and it install printer driver with the name PDFWRITER printer(like Win2PDF from Dane Prairie System).

Thanks for your response.

To fill out a PDF form in Acrobat Reader, you or the creator of the PDF form document, must have set up the document in Adobe Acrobat with appropriate form fields.

However a user can only submit, export or print the form, not execute commands as requested.

As to populating an Acrobat field with the data from a VFP table, that, I suspect, could only be achieved by copy and paste.
