Not clear on what you're trying to do - are these actual PDF forms or do

you just need to put data into an existing vanilla PDF?

If it's any help I did some code recently to add a customer signature

captured from a signature pad to a PDF invoice. One of the methods I

investigated was generating the invoice first and then merging the

signature graphic in. It used the free Debenu Quick PDF Lite Library

(http://www.debenu.com/products/development/debenu-pdf-library-lite/)

which has support for merging graphics into PDFs. Ultimately I didn't

end up going down this route but here's the business end of it FWIW. You

might need the paid version to merge text or fill PDF forms.

* -- Parameters are target PDF, the filename of the graphic with the

signature, and the image dimensions.

Function SignPDF(lcPDFFile as String, lcSigFile as String, loParms as

Object)

Local lnFileID, lnImageID

With goApplication.oDebenuPDF

If .LoadFromFile(lcPDFFile, "") > 0

? "PageHeight=" + Transform(.PageHeight)

.SelectPage(1) && - -TODO each page

or last?

.NormalizePage(0)

.SetOrigin(1) && -- Top left

lnFileID = .SelectedDocument

lnImageID = .AddImageFromFile(lcSigFile, 0)

If lnImageID > 0

If .SelectImage(lnImageID) > 0

if .DrawImage(loParms.ImgLeft, loParms.ImgTop, ;

loParms.ImgWidth, loParms.ImgHeight) > 0

If .SaveToFile(lcPDFFile) = 0

?"ERROR: Could not save " + lcPDFFile

Else

? "Merge successful."

Endif

Else

? "Could not draw image."

endif

Else

? "Could not select image."

Endif

Else

? "ImageID = 0"

Endif

Else

? "Could not load image file."

EndIf

EndWith

Endfunc
