Import data from webpages using a pdf form?

[first.officer]

Hi all,

I think I know the answer (a 'no' I suspect) - is it possible to have a created pdf form with fields that will 'pull in' (import) various pieces of data from website pages, and populate in to the respective field areas of a form??

Yes, but it's not easy. I wrote about this a while ago: https://khkonsulting.com/2017/08/connect-database-pdf-form-time-without-soap/

Hi Karl,

Many thanks for the reply, and link - Far beyond my understanding and scope, but at least it answers what is/isn't possible with the question I tabled.
