This is what I need to accomplish: Display a PDF prepopulated with existing information from a database in a browser, accept a HTTP submit back, and update the database accordingly.<br /><br />While experimenting, I managed to create a form in Designer, render a PDF, open it in Acrobat, enter some data, export the data as XDP. I put the PDF on a web server, took the contents of the XDP and updated the href link to point to the PDF of the web server, and made an ASP page that dumps the XDP out with the ContentType header set as shown below. It seems to work. Is this a reasonable approach? What is the "correct" way of doing this? The "old" way with regular AcroForms was to use FDF. I've seen that there is something called XFDF. How does XFDF relate to XDP and XFA, and does it apply in this scenario?<br /><br /><% Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml" %><?xml <br />version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><?xfa generator="XFA2_0" APIVersion="2.2.4333.0"?><br /><xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"><br /><xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"<br />><xfa:data<br />><form1<br />><TextField1<br />>marcus</TextField1<br />></form1<br />></xfa:data<br />></xfa:datasets<br />><br /><pdf href="http://localhost/testform.pdf" <br />xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"<br />/></xdp:xdp><br /><br />Also, if possible, it would be nice to be able to dynamically populate combo boxes with options etc in the form from the database. If I save a Designer form as XDP it's easy to do this and other form modifications, since it's plain XML. However, I would need to be able to render the form into PDF to be able to display it in Acrobat Reader, right? Is this possible without buying super expensive sever software from Adobe?
