I am trying to populate form fields (3 of them) on a pdf with either data passed through a form variable from a submitted page or by querying the database. I'm using ASP, if that helps. What steps do I need to take. I currently have a pdf created with the 3 blank fields I'll be writing to.

If you want to manipulate PDF files in ASP.NET, start here. iTextSharp is a
free tool based on the Java tool iText.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

Here's an article on how to fill in the fields

Obviously, there are tons of commercial products that will do this for you.
Just google "ASP write PDF"
