on top of what Scott mentioned with you would need to use the 3rd party library, it would be easier for you to create the <b>fillable PDF forms</b> as the <b>templates</b>, so that to make it easier in the process of &quot;filling up&quot; the PDF forms, instead of programming all the PDF pages from your codes.

Hi Stacey,<br />
Your question says that it is a &quot;pdf form&quot;, so I'll assume that it has it fillable fields. If so, my answer at this EE question has my suggestion for you:<br />
<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28983996/Is-it-possible-to-programatically-fill-out-a-fillable-ADOBE-PDF-form.html?anchorAnswerId=41893220#a41893220" rel="ugc">Is it possible to programatically fill out a fillable ADOBE PDF form?</a><br />
<br />
The quick summary is that it's a (free) utility called <a href="http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/" rel="ugc">PDFtk Server</a> that allows you to populate a form programmatically from any programming/scripting language that can call a command line executable (if you don't know how to call a command line from your code, a web search for &quot;vb.net command line calls&quot; will give you the answer). I've used this solution in many programs to fill fields in PDF forms and then save the new, filled-in PDF. Regards, Joe

Populating PDF using vb.net

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
