RE: PDF Documents

I assume (I know), that the customers are using Adobe or some equivalent
to view the PDF, to clarify the point I mentioned about using software
is that we have been told they will not/can't install specific software
that will allow them to edit the PDF.

I apologize if I'm not being clear on what I'm asking.
I don't think I was clear as to the type of document.
- Document needs to allow simple input such as checking yes/no and space
provide for comments
- Each document is specific to individual customer
Example - Customer A may order 1 of everything we carry so the
follow-up letter needs to address their particular needs, did you
receive item 1, any comments etc etc.
Where as customer 2 may only order 2 items so naturally their
follow-up letter will be different, and so on and so on.


I'm not sure I understand about putting this on our web site. Perhaps
you mean for every customer I would have to have separate links for
their specific document?

Sorry I'm not that familiar with "web stuff". I'm am willing to
learn/do this, if this is what I need to make this work.

Can you perhaps re-phrase your requirement?

If they don't want to use software to edit it, how do they
expect it to happen? That just doesn't make sense - you
can't even view a PDF without software (unless you've
already printed it <grin>).

_Something_ has to do the data entry. It can be done
programatically or manually. If the PDF is built (or
edited) to contain PDF Form elements - which is how the
government forms mentioned earlier work - then the data
entry can be done in any browser with the free Adobe Reader
(or equivalent) installed.

They want to receive the attached PDF in there email and auto
magically be able to edit it and send it back to us
