This would be a big help. Thanks. Get the PDF Specs from Acrobat or check out the threads on FDF in the ColdFusion Section of forums.allaire.com You generate an .fdf and link to it (or serve it directly as in the example from pdflib) Let me know if you know how to solve the trouble with the clients handling the fdf, if the user orders the browser to open the file (not save it) the reader is launched, asks the user for a path to the browsers executable and then again launches the browser which displays it using the reader plugin. Not really something that all users could handle... -- Grüße aus Weeze Jens Kisters rosomm et partner Holtumsweg 12 47652 Weeze Telefon: 0 28 37 - 96 23 73 http://www.rosomm-partner.de
