FDF & LiveCycle Designer - HELP!

Dear all,



I think I'm becoming insane. I have forms created in LiveCycle Designer 8,

and I need that one of the text fields will be filled in automatically.

Its value (for example, "123456") is supposed to be based on a PHP Session.



I've found this great tutorial: http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields/,

only to find out later that it only works in forms created by Acrobat itself, and my question is: WHY?!



I have a dead-line to finish the project I need it for,

and I'll be kicked out if I won't find a solution to that issue until then.

Please, I beg you, help me with your kindness and wisdom to find a solution, since I'm currently at a dead-end with no turning back.



By the way, the funny, ironic thing is that I usually work in a web environment, using HTML, (Web) JavaScript and PHP to create forms with validations. The only reason we turned to the PDF technology is because

we need an image of the submitted form, and the digital signature as a

proof, in case patients in the research will decide to sue us for damages.



Thank you so much for reading,

Thank you, Tembowa, but unfortunately, I don't understand a thing of the script you wrote. I need to do the whole procedure of implementing the Study ID on server side, using PHP, and I'm out of ideas.
