you will be needing Adobe Acrobat Pro to fill those fillable pdf.
if you can post a sample pdf, so i may test the fieldnames of the form.
then i will give you back the names of the fields so that you can fill
them with correct fieldname from your table.

this is a sample pdf that i have worked before.
it has 528 fillable fields (pdf_fields on table pdfFields)and i extracted their names.
only few fields (map_fields) are of use to the client.

The other way I am thinking is doing something that allows the database to fill in the PDF for me. I am not sure how to accomplish this one, but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Hi. Also, you might want to take a look at my PDF demoes.

Hi, @theDBguy, I came across your DBs demos a little while back, but it is not exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the reply though.
AArnelgp, I just started my days off, but I will be back at work on Tuesday-Wednesday, and I can upload those specific PDFs at that time. I know we use Adobe Acrobat DC pro at work. Also ty for the replies.
Okay, good luck. Please let us know how it goes.

I'm pretty sure you only need Adobe to create a fillable PDF. I fill them all the time for my financial manager. So, look at the examples since you can probably fill them using OLE. Then you can "print" the filled PDF to a printer defined as a PDF and send that file.
