PDF Background? Outatym 29.09.2006 21:03:01 I need to figure out a way to fill out multiple insurance applications at the same time. I am setting up a form that will accept data, then put it into corresponding fields on an existing PDF. I am basically wanting to make the PDF a background and have the data "laid" on top of it. Is this even possible or am I just crazy?

Having trouble getting coverage? Or should this smell so fishy that I ought to be holding my nose? > I am setting up a form that will accept data, then put it into > corresponding fields on an existing PDF.

It is possible to use a graphic image as a background and position Controls on top of it, but that won't put the data into the Fields defined as a PDF. Too, I am not aware that PDF is one of the file types that you can use as an Image file... You might have to scan the PDF file, save in a supported image file format, and use the scanned image as your background. You'll still have to create Text, List, or Combo Boxes into which the user can enter the data. I'd think, at best, if the user has the PDF Reader installed, and if the PDF reader is COM-Automation Compliant, you might display it in a Bound OLE Frame. > Is this even possible or am I just crazy? It is possible within limits, and my psychological credentials are non-existent, so I cannot offer an opinion on the last question. Best regards always, Larry
