Re: can pdf forms be used to submit data into db?

Take a look at php.net/fdf for input to database (easy part). As for automatically filling out the PDF, you can actually embed javascript in a PDF, although I'm not exactly sure how to do it. PlanetPDF.com will have the info, though. Also, there is an excellent PDF forum over at planetpdf.com which has been very helpful in the past for me. If that fails, you could try comp.text.pdf but IIRC the forums work better.
