Is it possible to auto-populate PDF forms with MS Access data? (i.e., if a customer ID is entered all their relevant data will automatically get filled in.) If so, what is required to set this up? Please advise.

Cheers,
Charlene

Yes, you will have to create an ODBC connection and use ADBC methods in Acrobat Forms or create a data connection in LiveCycle Designer. You will be passing SQL statement strings through Acrobat JavaScript or LiveCycel Designer to access the database.

Reader will be able to use any form using these methods to populate the form.
