I need a way for:

a user to login to a site, select a pdf fillable form, fill out the form and submit the completed form to a web server that adds the completed pdf document to the users account.

I'm trying to eliminate the need to save the pdf to my computer and then upload to my account.

Thanks,

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.2

This is absolutely possible and you'll find several posts on this site, and a couple of articles that discuss this topic. However, the solution requires custom server scripting and there are several options. You could write the script in any server scripting language, PHP, Perl, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, etc. There is also a service that can provide part, or most of the solution for you, www.formrouter.com.
