PDF Form Fill via web page and render

Avatar

I have a PDF created by Adobe Acrobat (Pro?) that allows form entry. What I'd like to do is allow a user to enter data into a WEB FORM (jsp), and then populate the data into a PDF for redisplay to the user. The redisplayed PDF should not be editable. At that point, I want them to submit it.



My questions so far are...



1. I've downloaded XPAAJ and gotten it to fill the PDF with entries, and can re-render it. However, since it's a form, the user can "edit" and print, but not save. On display, I'd want this to be a locked form. I didn't see anywhere in the XPAAJ that you did this.



2. Is XPAAJ a licensed product or do I have it to use freely for the above requirement? If not, what must I purchase? I'll check on what Adobe product/licenses we have currently.



Thanks -- appreciating any feedback.
