Yes if you download their SDK you can populate PDF forms with data and save
the data as an FDF file. I used this approach 5 years ago for an insurance
company application. I had an Access app for the field reps that downloaded
their survey data (work they needed to get done) and opened fillable PDF
forms. The data they filled in was saved as FDF files on their local drive
and emailed to the home office as well as well as FTPed to the home office
ftp server. I'd have to search my archives for the app but yes it can be
done.

Dear List:
 
Does anyone know if Acrobat's fillable forms can be automated from Access
like you can merge data into a word doc?
