Hello! I have a web application (php and mysql) and I would like to fill dinamically a pdf form with data extracted from database and finally open it (so that final user can print the file). Of course, loading data are different every time according to the selected record . As far as I read in this developper's corner the best way to get it is using javascript. I wonder if it is possible to have an example of how to do it. Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

The easiest approach will be use LiveCycle Designer and ODBC. Then linking to your SQL database is a matter of dragging and dropping.

You don't give us any information on your forms architecture, so it's hard to say more.
