I want to edit the text boxes and check boxes in PDF files with VB, using data from a database and user input.What methods or tools would you suggest? Is there a straightforward way to find the location (address or position in the pdf file) of standard objects in a pdf file?Thank You!Bill

Hey y'all,I need to fill in PDF files. There is a product available that does thid for the backflow community but I do not have it nor does it do the other half of things I do. (It is not especially user-friendly either.) I do backflow testing and calibrate test kits and pressure gauges. That means filling out forms for county offices with a lot of the same data on them from year to year. Sometimes there are several devices per customer. These are scanned PDF forms from the counties (have to be their original, typed format - computer printed is okay).  Calibration data sheets are currently in Excel - spreadsheets formatted to print out for the customer. I fill these out after a test. Copy and paste tends to lead to errors and boredom. Takes too long too!--> You can guess that I do a lot of typing over - because the data for test reports, calibration sheets, quotes and billing  is not easy to put into the form where it ultimately goes.  It can be stored together, ...

Hi Mike,Happy Easter!Thanks for the great reply! I want to avoid confusion or overwriting of controls, DLL's or other objects. A VB4 package is on its way (cheap$) and I will be time travelling to the past soon enough. I will make sure it installs in a distinctly separate folder.Thanks,Bill

I uave Visual Studio with MSDN ver 6 installed on my main PC (W2K) and have to interface with a 16 bit DLL for a product that I am using. The product developers tel me that VB4 in 16 bit mode is required to access the DLL, since it was written in that mode (quite a while ago). I'd llike to upgrade the interface software but it would cost me about $500!I have VB4 and wonder if I can put it on the computer also - hence the question about having both VB4 and VS6 installed at the same time. Or should I use a different box then just copy the .exe when I have it ready?Thanks,Bill Allen678-717-8590allenbh *at* alltel.net
