Hi,

I recently tried to merge a survey form that I created in Livecycle designer (that makes a web service call) with a static pdf file using the itext api concatenate code. the resulting pdf had the an error page for where the form should have been indicating it would 'appear shortly' but never did... anything wrong with this approach? how better could I acheive this? Could I do somethign similar with Acrobat forms and javacript? apreciate the assistance.

thanks

Acrobat Forms can be created by 2 different programs included in the Acrobat package. The original Acrobat form and the newer LiveCycle Designer. Each program uses a different approach for the basic format used and features available. The LiveCycle Designer uses the XML form format and Acrobat Acrobat used the FDF format. They also use different scripting languages and syntax for JavaScript.

You can add attachment using Acrobat Standard or Professional and Acrobat's UI for comments.

If you are going to use PDFs look at using the Package/Portfolio for this action.

I dont really want to create attachments. I want the first page of a pdf to be a form(that can call a web service) and the rest of it to be the actual document. How can I accomplish this..?
