Several years ago I developed some solutions using FDF to populate a PDF form, I'm trying to locate the content on your site as the following links no longer work and a search does not find them :

https://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/forms.html

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acr4formssysnotes.pdf

http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs/fdftk/FDFtkovr.pdf

http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/pdfs/tn/5186AcroJS.pdf

http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs/filefmtspecs/PDFReference.pdf

does anyone have updated links for these ?

The original article can be found at https://greggriffiths.org/webdev/serverside/asp/asp_fdf/.

The partners.adobe.com links all also give the following error :

The FDF toolkit is no longer available, and hasn't been for over a decade, I think.

In any case most people view PDF in the browser now, and FDF population isn't likely to work well.

You need a server side generator of finished PDF. Much more complex task.

thanks for the update, was using PDFs in a browser, just used the FDF Toolkit to make them dynamic for the solution we had at the time - spotted the links were dead as I was refreshing part of my site. Is the Acrobat JS doc still available somewhere ?
