Thanks Seth. So using the full version of Acrobat we can print to the Distiller (I believe we have v5). Do you know if we can do this programatically? I thought there might be an SDK that we could use. I know we did when implementing the FDF.

Acrobat Reader won't do that. You (and your clients) can either buy the full version of Acrobat, or a third-party PDF printing tool. Basically, once you open your fdf/pdf files in Acrobat, you turn right around a print from Acrobat to a PDF file using Distiller or something like it. A quick Google search on "print pdf" should give you several options for third-party tools.

We now have a need to integrate any older electronic data with our archived applications (scanned paper images) so we decided to create and save them as PDFs. My question is how to save the data filled applications in PDF format? Is there a tool that can perform a "Save As" on an FDF filled with data? We have the Adobe forms SDK but my developer tells me it can't save the files as PDF. Some other option maybe? I called Adobe but tech support pawned me off on customer service who kept trying to sell me Acrobat 6. > > Any help is appreciated. > > Jim DeMarco > Director Application Development > Hudson Health Plan > T 914.631.1611 x2309 > > > > *********************************************************************************** > "This electronic message is intended to be for the use only of the named recipient, and may contain information from Hudson Health Plan (HHP) that is confidential or privileged.
