I do not have Acrobat and I am betting some of my end users do not either.

Is the previous method I mentioned my only option?

OK.?? It sounds like you have a blank .pdf form.?? You can directly "fill in" the blank .pdf form via Access from data in the database.?? It does require Acrobat as some of the necessary objects are Acrobat objects.?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? Stuart??

Stuart,
If I have the employee information in my Access database and I want to?? print an employee application, what is the best way to get the information from the database on to the application in the correct blanks.
??
The only method I have come up with it to put Access form fields over a form that has been imported on to a blank report. ????The forms are too complicated to recreate in Access.
??
If that is the best method, I will work with it.???? I just want to make sure I am using the best method.?? Periodically forms change so the change process will add some grief it I have to recreate the report with the new pdf form.
??
Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure exactly what you are understanding.?? ??I have worked with .pdf forms in both directions.?? ??That is, importing data from a ..pdf into Access, and filling out a .pdf data form via Access.?? ??Is that what you are asking?

Patty, thanks for the reply.?? I had thought about recreating the forms and I have done that in the past with some simple samples but the forms I am hoping to fill in are way too complicated and changing them would be a serious effort. ????As an example. Imagine a health insuranc! e application.
??
I am not even sure if I remember how to import the form now.?? I believe I just inserted the PDF as an image on my Access form.??
??
I am open to other suggestions.

Hi Bill,??
Without know more details about the forms you want to use, a comparable solution is to replicate the form in an Access report and incorporating the data from the da! tabase. Then you can output the report as a PDF.??
??
One button click through. I have also done this for systems like invoicing where the process includes producing the report/pdf and saving to a specified directory. Then the process generates an email and attaches the pdf to the email..
??
Let me know if you are interested in more details.

The forms are alread! y developed in the pdf state.??

What I am wondering is what is the best way to use Access to fill in the blanks on a pdf form.?? At this point the only method I have come up with is to put the pdf form in the background of a report and then put the fields of the report on top of the form.??

I checked Youtube an! d did not see anyone doing what I was trying to do.

Thank you for your help.
