Here is my scenario. We have a desktop application that was created with File Maker Pro. We are creating a Web Application based on this and have moved to ASP and Oracle because of the volume of data that will be stored in it.

I would like to keep the "printed" pages looking identicle to the FMP pages so I have created PDF's of each of them. I've never used a PDF this way so it's completely new to me.

What I would like to do is preseed some text boxes in the PDF page with information from an ASP page so that the end user can print it. I would also like to make the text boxes not editable for the end user. The only way the text changes in the PDF is if they enter new or different data on the ASP page.

I've been through Adobe's forums and can't find any examples where someone fills textboxes on a PDF from ASP. If someone could point me in the right direction or give me a snippet of code to demonstrate filling a PDF from ASP it would be greatly appreciated.
