Topic title may be misleading, but here's my dilemma. I have a customer who is going to be supplying .PDF files. 

He will be running a VB app on a Win2K PC, in which he can free form enter text into form fields. He wants me to take that free-form text and put it into the page header and page footer for the .PDF documents - when it is printed (from a click of a botton on the VB app screen). 

I can figure out how to launch Acrobat Reader to print automagically, but how do I (or can I) put the text into the header/footer? 

I have some control, in that I can request that the .PDF files have a certain previously-agreed-upon text string that could be substituted at run time if that helps.... 

Is there a product/add-in I need to buy or should I admit defeat? 

Thanks.
