Hi guys, gals,
first off i just wanted to thank all of you who responded to my question,
they were very helpful...but the answers bring me to several new questions:
1) has anyone seen anything like this done with the reader ver. of acrobat
and not the full version of acrobat...could you point me somewhere where
FDF is actually implemented?
I can't speak for other software, but you need one of the full versions of Acrobat to do forms. There may be a competitor to Acrobat, or one of the PHP-PDF libraries that can do it programatically, but I have no idea about that.
2) this question is more directed to Justin French, but in any case, the
reason i wanted to use the PDF forms is so that i don't have to create them
again in CSS or any other format, the forms are already created and all i
need to do is figure out how to make the data that people enter into them
"submittable." but in any case, have you seen some pretty complex forms
made up of entirely CSS that i can look at? i guess this solution would be
acceptable pending some examples....
I think you mean "forms completely styled with CSS", don't you? The answer is "yes", but it would depend on your definition of "complex".
Do a google search... there's plenty of reading to do out there :)
http://alistapart.com/stories/practicalcss/ is one place to start.
If the forms are already created in PDF, then who created them? That person must have access to the higher versions of Acrobat, therefor must be able to edit the files, specifying a target script on the web to which they will be to POSTed.
