Rob,

Your suggestion on sending a link to a website has been tossed around -
but I'm trying to stay with what is in place and working. From what it
sounds like from yours and everyone else's responses, keeping what I
have may not be possible. I really don't want to reinvent this
application if I don't need to.

Thanks

Len,

The problem is editing PDF documents. Adobe gives away a
free PDF reader.
Getting to edit it costs $. Heck, I can't even do that.
So all your customers would need a PDF editor. A better
choice might be to create Word documents. The odds of
users being able to edit that increases dramatically. I
wouldn't go with the latest version of Word. A lot of
installations are still running XP so some version of Word
running on that might be better. The problem is that
everybody and their brother as a PDF generator from the i.
A nice fill in Word document isn't quite so common.

Another option is just send them a link to a website. And
have them enter the data there.

I would need to have this on my end before I send the
documents. Many
many customers!

Are you talking on your end before you send it or after you
have sent it to your customer.

Greetings,

We have a couple of applications that generate spooled
files on a 520
box
w/v6r1 and a 3rd party solution that will email/fax the
documents to
our customers in PDF format. Our customers want to be
able to edit
the PDF and send it back to us without having to print
the document
out. Can anyone offer any suggestions and/or point me
towards the
right direction as how I may do this using our
existing process.

Thank you
