Hi Booth,
Assuming the .pdf is a PDF form, you should be able to create a stream
file with a .fdf extension. The .fdf file is just text that specifies
the name of the .pdf form it's related to, and a list of field names and
values. It's pretty easy to create a stream file from RPG.
If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional, you can see the format of the
.fdf file by going to the Advanced menu, Forms, Export Forms Data.
After creating the .fdf file, use any text editor such as wordpad to
look at it. Here's an example:
%FDF-1.2
%âãÏÓ
1 0 obj
<</FDF
<<
/FS /URL
/F(file://MyServer/forms/Evaluation.pdf)
/Fields[
<< /T(Teacher) /V(Kelly) >>
<< /T(ChildName) /V(Penny) >>
<< /T(DateOfBirth) /V(01/01/2001) >>
]
>>
>>
endobj
trailer
<</Root 1 0 R>>
%%EOF
/FS indicates the type of file name in the /F spec
/F indicates the name of the related .pdf
/T indicates a field name
/V indicates the value for that field
This is all explained in the Adobe PDF Reference manual, chapter 8.

We use a .pdf form to print a quarterly report and submit it. Is it
possible to fill that form out with an RPG program?
