Hi, thanks for that. It begins to look like it won't suit me at all. Can I make a form in .pdf that allows the user to enter details into it right there on the computer? I'm under the impression I've done that in the past but I can't find any way to do it right now. I've got Adobe Reader 8 (and 7) and it has an EDIT on the menu bar. Can't do anything with it on the sample form I opened in it but that might just be because that form is pretty well locked up security-wise. Point is it looks like Reader 8, at least, does allow editing, some at least. I took a look on the web and read some wikipedia article that made it seem like Adobe has buggered around with Acrobat and Reader in various incarnations in their pursuit of maximising profits and perhaps once it didn't edit and once it did and then again didn't... maybe like that? Or is the 'editing' I see there not really editing at all? Also a memory just came back to me of editing a pdf in Coreldraw, I think it was. A pdf is simply a graphic, isn't it? I think I'll look for that old form making prog I used to have, decades ago... 'Formpro'? or something like that... Thanks for your input. You've cleared it all up for me. regards, ab
