How to get filled form with AcroPDF interface

Hello,

I'm trying to use AcroPDF interface to show a PDF form, get it filled by the user, and get back the filled-up form, to save it into my database.

How can I do this (the interface doesn't allow me to save it into a temporary file or to get back the pdf or an image of it) ?

Thanks for your help

Adobe make sure you cannot do this without buying Acrobat for each customer.

Ok, I understand, thanks (to you and not to Adobe) :-)

AxAcroPDF is an interface for viewing PDFs only. You would need to display in Acrobat and use the IAC interface.

The best way to get back a filled in form is to have a CGI/ASP/PHP/etc. on your secure web server.

Ok, thanks,

I missed to write that I should do this in my C++ application, I don't have a web app.

And I can't ask my customers to buy the fulle Acrobat product ....

Viewer let you fill in the form ... and save it ... I just need the same thing, but programmatically ...
