Hi, we have an application installed locally with different customers which automates the filling of state based forms. The state distributes the forms in PDF format and we want the following functionality: 1. Our app makes a copy of the original PDF-file. 2. Our app displays the PDF form (by the ActiveX control) in a dialog box which has a save button and a print button. 3. Our app prefills some parts of the form. 4. The user fills out rest of the form in the dialog box. 5. When the user presses the save button in the dialog box (not in the form) our app read the contents of the different fields in the form and saves it in the customers database. So in order to accomplish this we at least need a SaveFile method in the Adobe ActiveX. Secondary we need SetField and GetField methods. Will this be supported with version 8 or with som other Adobe products?
