Filling an adobe acrobat fdf file

[Stan Denman]

I am having trouble figuring out how to file an adobe fdf file from a microsoft access form. I have set up my adobe form with field names, and then I export the data is the blank form so that I get a "template" fdf file. Here it is in notepad:


"%FDF-1.2%âãÏÓ
1 0 obj
<</FDF<</F(ssa1693.pdf)/Fields[<</T(ClientAreaCode)/V(214)>><</T(ClientFirstName)/V(Stanley)>><</T(ClientLastName)/V(Denman)>><</T(ClientMailingAddr1)/V(PO Box 824219)>><</T(ClientMailingAddr2)>><</T(ClientMailingAddrCity)/V(Dallas)>><</T(ClientMailingAddrState)/V(TX)>><</T(ClientMailingAddrZip)/V(75382)>><</T(ClientMiddleInitial)>><</T(ClientPhoneLastSeven)/V( 219-7288)>><</T(ClientSSN)/V(000-00-0000)>><</T(fill_1)/V/Off>><</T(fill_10)/V/Off>><</T(fill_11)/V/Off>><</T(fill_12)/V/Off>><</T(fill_13)/V/Off>><</T(fill_14)/V/Off>><</T(fill_15)/V/Off>><</T(fill_16)/V/Off>><</T(fill_17)/V/Off>><</T(fill_18)/V/Off>><</T(fill_19)>><</T(fill_2)/V/Off>><</T(fill_20)>><</T(fill_21)/V/Off>><</T(fill_22)/V/Off>><</T(fill_23)/V/Off>><</T(fill_3)/V/Off>><</T(fill_4)/V/Off>><</T(fill_5)/V/Off>><</T(fill_6)/V/Off>><</T(fill_7)/V/Off>><</T(fill_8)>><</T(fill_9)>>]/ID[<7FE3C21C467A7DC8D9B670E0250617E4><67C32B57CA17694 9A06A019786A1A985>]/UF(ssa1693.pdf)>>/Type/Catalog>>
endobj

<</Root 1 0 R>>
%%EOF"

In VBA code values from my form in the form of like ClientFirstName.Value = Me.ClientFirstName.Value and so on. Just not working for me.

Do you mean "PDF" file?

What does "not working" mean - error message, wrong result, nothing happens?

Are you trying to form fill a PDF document? Review https://www.access-programmers.co.uk...ng-vba.315500/

Or are you trying to export form or report to create a PDF?

Thanks June7 for your response. I have reviewed the url you sent. It is, I am afraid, way to complicated for my skill set. I am really quite amazed that simply filling a pdf form (it is a form after all!) has to be so complicated.
