Hi Ted-- Thanks for the feedback. Actually, I'm trying to generate the FDF file dynamically from an .aspx page. I'm looking for documentation, because I'm running into problems even getting the FDF sample files (like GenerateFDF) to work on my development box (running XP Pro with IIS installed). I've copied FdfAcX.dll and FdfTk.dll to the WINDOWS/System32 directory and used regsvr32 to register the dll. I've also configured MIME mappings for for FDF (string value 'application/fdf,fdf,,5'). I've also configured a new MIME type for my default web site inside of IIS, and rebooted after doing all the above...basically everything suggested in the documentation for ActiveX version of FDF, as well as things suggested on http://members.tripod.com/pdfpro/internet_server_setup.htm. But I'm still having problems when trying to run the sample...1)tries to save the .aspx file to disk when launching from VS.net or IE, or 2) get a "file is damaged" error when clicking the "get data from asxp" link (which I've updated to point to the new location in localhost) in the sample. Any ideas, or suggestions on ways I can research this further? Thanks for the help!
