Adobe
Trying to create a pdf form. I am able to do this in adobe, but I am having
no such luck trying to automate adobe and build the pdf. Not sure if anyone
has done this or knows where I can pick up a book to learn about it. Not
sure if that is even possible. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've used Acrobat to read from and write to a PDF form, but have never
created one using anything but Acrobat. There was a good series of articles
written by Rick Schummer in FoxPro Advisor on the topic, but again he was
addressing a form that was already created, not creating one through
automation...

Actually... I think the article was in FoxTalk...

In addition to the FoxTalk articles Kris mentioned, Rick also wrote
about PDF's in the book "MegaFox: 1002 Things You Wanted to Know about
Extending Visual FoxPro", www.hentzenwerke.com.

Both Tamar and Kristyne have mentioned Rick's work in both FoxTalk and
MegaFox. The PDF chapter from MegaFox is available as a free sample chapter
at www.hentzenwerke.com
