Adobe Acrobat SDK with Adobe Reader

Question

Hello, I am William from Indonesia.

I want to automatically fill a PDF Form via Visual Basic Application. The PDF Form was created by the government and it requires Adobe Reader DC to open it. I have tried to open the PDF Form with Adobe Acrobat Pro but it failed miserably.

Meanwhile, in order to manipulate a PDF form programatically, we need to use Adobe Acrobat SDK. But Adobe Acrobat SDK cannot be used without Adobe Acrobat Pro as far as I know.

Can anyone suggest a solution for my problem? Manually fill out the form is very daunting task. So I want to automate it with Excel's VBA.

Thanks

You are correct, the Acrobat SDK is designed for use with Acrobat (it is there to sell more copies of Acrobat).

Please explain " I have tried to open the PDF Form with Adobe Acrobat Pro but it failed miserably."

There should be no files that open in Reader but not in Acrobat Pro.
