Hi Ron,
I have done this once before and what I had to do was let the user
download the pdf that had the fields in it, they fill in the fields
and email the pdf back, right from acrobat.
In the pdf, you set the fields to lock after they finish and submit.
You can also have them sign the document virtually then lock the
whole document.
Then you set it up to email the pdf back to you. They will need a
email program for this on their computer of course. Like Eudora or
Mail or Outlook.
You can put a notice link in the PDF to an upload form on your site
if they do not have a mail program.
You will need Acrobat Professional to do this though. There may be
another one I don't know of.
HTH,
Karl

Yes, I've looked hard at fdpf and see how it is used to generate a
new pdf, but I need to simply fill in the form fields in an
existing pdf. If it can do that, I'm not finding the feature....
Thanks,

Yes, we can first ask the user to fill in a form, but then comes
the part
I don't understand - how to covert it to pdf.
It would be best if we could just fill in the fields on an
existing form,
but it would also work to print the printer friendly form to the
server's
printer queue, which could really be a postscript file we could then
convert to pdf. In that case, I need to learn how to get PHP to
print to
the server's printer...

Take a peek at this

Writing to a pdf from php is very cumbersome, this seems to take
some of the
sting out.
