Hello,
I'm beginning to get more into PDF forms, but to date have done only "fill-in-the-blank," then print or email the PDF. I'm wondering if forms can do the following:
1: Write information to a database
2: Read information from a database
3: Duplicate information between fields (i.e. - enter text in one field and have it duplicate into other fields on the same form)
4: Automatically retrieve the date and/or time from the computer or server the form is located on and enter it into a field when the field is clicked or the PDF is opened.
My database knowledge is very GUI in nature. I'm fairly adept at Microsoft Access, at least on a basic level on the GUI end of things. I've looked into SQL and done some minor writing with copy/paste and slight modifications, but nothing from scratch.
One final question, does Acrobat Reader support the filling in of forms yet, or are the users still required to have a full version of Acrobat?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
