How can I create a PDF form that has database driven fields and calculated fields ?

[Ahmad_Dabbah]

Good Day , I need to create PDF Forms that has

- Fields that are read from a MS SQL Server database , once the user enters a field the others fields should be read from an underlying database

- Calculated fields

what product from PDF Forms supports this ? also once this file is created does the end user filling that form needs any kind of special licenses or he will be able to fill this using Adobe Reader ?

You'll need to develop the PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer if you want to be able to connect it to a database.

And yes, it should be possible to use the file in Adobe Reader after that.
