Has anyone managed to get an FDF served from a web server and successfully opened in the target PDF on a MAC using OSX? I am getting the PDF to open in a Reader window, so Acrobat is processing the FDF to a certain point, but none of the data in the FDF is being displayed in the PDF.Hey Jub,
I've been investigating this problem myself. The fact for now is that Adobe doesn't provide a plug-in for OS X browsers yet. Fortunately the mac I needed fdf data displayed through a browser happens to be the only Mac on the network and myself being the only user but I'm still
not satisfied.
I have got an idea though how to load fdf data through reader 6.0 in OS X using JavaScript and a CGI application.
var a = this.getURL("http://website/getFDF.php";);
for (i in a)
{
for (var q = 0; q < this.numFields; q++) { if ( this.getNthFieldName(q) == i) { tr = this.getField(i).value=a[i]; } } }
Just a quick idea. I'd be willing to help so more if your still interested.

Have you tried http://www.schubert-it.com? He publishes a free plug-in that enables PDF's to be displayed in a browser. I have no idea whether it'll incorporate the FDF information into the fields, but its worth a try.
