Hello, all, I've read through both of the groups I'm posting to, and
all over the groups, regarding filling PDF forms with data from VB.  I
have Acrobat 5 (and the SDK), and am using VB 6.  I can successfully
place data in a field with code like the following (leaving out
declarations for brevity):

Set AdPre = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
AdPre.Open "c:\test.pdf", "Foo"  
Set formApp = CreateObject("AFormAut.App")
Set acroForm = formApp.Fields
acroForm.Item("AA1A").Value = "FOO"

Which basically opens up the form, grabs ref to the fields
collection/object and then sets one of their values to "FOO".  Yea! 
Not.  The darned thing opens up in Acrobat (or viewer on a system with
only viewer).  :-/  What I really want is this whole process to be
quiet and in the background.  That is, the end user is using my
program to enter and store data and I want my program to fill the
fields and cause the printer to emit the printed report; I don't want
the end user to see a splash on the screen as Reader comes to life and
prints the document; more precisely, I don't want Acrobat/Reader to
ever launch with a UI.  That is, is there anyway to make this happen
without actually opening the document in Acrobat/Reader?  To me, to
have the document open, if only for a moment, in Acrobat/Reader, when
the user has no need to view it in that program but only to have the
printed report in hand, is junky.

TIA
