Passing URL Parameters

Question

Can anybody help with information on how I can pass a URL parameter to a form field in a pdf?

I want to create a certificate that prints the name of the person contained in the web URL on the form.

Any help greatly appreciated.

It's very tricky to get it to work correctly... It basically only works when the file is opened inside a web-browser because then you can have access to the URL using a script.

I developed such a script, which can be used to populate a PDF file using URL parameters, if they match the names of the fields in the file. You can purchase it from here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Populate Form Data from URL
