Thanks for the offer Ted... if this keeps going as it is I might take you up on it... What I could really use is for someone w/ full blown Adobe Acrobat to provide me with another test PDF to play with. The W4 example from the IRS works like a champ but I can't duplicate anything otherwise because I can't seem to create the PDF's. If someone could just give me a PDF w/ a text label and a text box in there I think that would suffice. If I can do my thing then I'll tell the boss I need my own copy of full version of Adobe (and pay for it). Any takers?
