I've got a client who needs to create PDF _forms_ that can be filled
in via automation from a database application.
Note I'm not asking about PDF printer drivers, which are dime-a-dozen,
but rather the software to open an existing PDF and tag areas for
form-filling.
I've used Adobe Acrobat (Standard, MSRP $299 or Professional MSRP
$449) to create forms before, but it's quite a bit more expensive and
feature filled than the CutePDF Professional ($79.95) software.
Has anyone worked with the CutePDF Pro software or similar software
they're recommend (or recommend I stay away from!) ?

Ted: I used CutePDF and there were some documents printed out of VFP
that didn't render. I have since used Nitro PDF and have had no problem.
That is my only experience with CutePDF.

Ted:
I have been using PDF-XChange Viewer -- only problem is on screen there
is less contrast than with Adobe Reader.*
"PDF-XChange Viewer* is a free PDF <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF>
reader for Microsoft Windows
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows>.^[2]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF-XChange_Viewer#cite_note-1> ^[3]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF-XChange_Viewer#cite_note-2> ^[4]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF-XChange_Viewer#cite_note-3> The basic
reader, which can be downloaded free, includes extended/markup
capabilities, such as typing, highlighting, callouts, notes, and more.
An advanced paid version is also available.
It supports saving of filled PDF forms (AcroForms
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AcroForms>) and import/export of form data
in FDF/XFDF <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFDF> format."
