Hello vb/pdf experts<br />
<br />
I have a windows application written with vb.net and I would like to do the following in the application: <br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;open an existing template.pdf containing text fields.<br />
2. &nbsp;populate text fields with data from database.<br />
3. &nbsp;check appropriate checkboxes.<br />
4. &nbsp;save as partNumber.pdf<br />
<br />
My client and I both have Acrobat Pro installed on our machines and I'm looking for a solution that is reasonable or free. &nbsp;I have evaluated ABCpdf and it works but it's too expensive. &nbsp;I think this can be done with vb and the Acrobat jsobject but I don't know how to do this. &nbsp;Is there a way to access the field name on the pdf form so I can populate it with data? &nbsp;I have searched for code samples to do this but have not found any so if you can point me to code sample or provide a sample here it would be much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you &nbsp;in advance for your help.<br />
