I am working on a project for this company that wants me to build them a online pdf that automatically gets pre-filled and generated when a customer clicks on the link that is sent to them via email. Now, the part that i am having the most trouble with is they also want a way that when the customer opens that pdf it will have a little form on the bottom that would be the equivilant to a signature and is possible an accept button that when clicked on will automatically save the pdf with the signature and email it to them. Does anyone know how i can go about doing something like this? Or where i could find information on this?

Thank you.

    Not sure about the technical viability of having a PDF form respond back to the server, but you could present an html page dressed up to look like the final PDF image with your acceptance form at the bottom.  This page would be the HTML source file that ultimately you generate as PDF using the cfdocument tag. (I assume you are using CF 8).

    You would have saved a copy of the signature image (pointer to file saved in file system) in the users profile, and when they click on accept, go out and generate the pdf with the signature image located in the correct place in the layout.
