I am an ASP.NET developer and have just been tasked to integrate PDF support 
into my application. Can someone lead me in the right direction on how to 
accomplish the following tasks:

1) Extract form field names and data types from a PDF document.
2) Serve a PDF form to a browser with fields populated from a database.

I'm working with Acrobat 7, PDF version 1.6.  If I can avoid having to read 
the entire 1236 pages of the PDF specification, my life would be a lot 
easier.

Thank you
