I would like to know the best way to use Acrobat for .pdf form files in conjuction with my FileMaker Solution. I wish to have various forms print from FileMaker, whereby the data in FMP is passed to an Acrobat pdf form. Is it necessary to export from fmp to the pdf file, or is there some way of placing a .pdf document right onto the layout. What about the data... sharing it between the two?? If anyone has any experience with this, please advise. Thanks.

Not really my area, but I do use PDF files with FMP. However, what I do is simply print to the Acrobat Writer from FMP, or place a link to a PDF in a container field then use a script to go to this field with the option to sellect the full contents, which in turn starts the PDF. I would try to stay away from displaying PDFs or any other external documents in FMP, as this will make your sollution very big and slow.

Sorry I can't help further
