I suggest to use a DB on the server and keep the PDF form and User entry
data completely separate. User entry data are recorded on the DB, and merge
this data on the form whenever the user calls this form. If the data is not
complete, again use a field in the database to present the data has not been
finalised yet.
This might be because my knowledge of Acrobat is not as good as many others
in the forum, but I have done this situation using CFM/ASP and DB & PDF
Templates over the web successfully, (I use FDFMergeLite to merge the data
on the form on the server).

Clyde,
I've noticed that the forms on our server also seem to
retain the entries
from one session to the next for a given user, but of
course, users cannot
save the modified forms to the server. So I also struggled
with the same
problem (resetting the form on page close (or open)), until
I realized that
if *another* user accesses the same form, the data entered
by the previous
user of the form is not visible.
I would think that it is currently impossible for your users
to save a form
back to the server after making entries; if not, I would
think that the IT
staff could restrict the rights of users so that they could
not write to the
server.

Friends,
I am truly impressed with the knowledge base of the
participants of the
list! Every day, I am learning new things that improve my
ability to create
useful PDF forms.
My question today is one that has stumped me for months. I
initially posted
it on the Adobe Forum Page but got tired of checking for an
answer after
several months.
Using Acrobat 4.0, I have a number of multi-page forms that
I have posted on
our department's Intranet site. I am applying security to
each document
(changing document and select text or graphics). I have
tried to set page
action on page close (or open) to "reset form" in order to
make sure that a
clean copy remains on the server. When I do that, multi-page
forms reset the
first page when you move to the second page and vice versa.
The process
works fine for single page forms!
Staff need to be able to access, complete, save to their
desktop, email and
print forms. (We are not at the stage where we would use
the FPF format -
long story).
Without the page action, I am afraid that staff will leave
completed forms
on the server. Is there a way I can permit the completion
of multiple page
forms (online or on the desktop once saved) and have the
page action reset
the form just to be safe.
Again, I appreciate all of the information that is provided
on this list and
look forward to your suggestions or advice.
