Is it possible to add C++ code using the SDK to fill in the values of fields in a PDF document on a machine with ONLY the reader (not Acrobat)? Does anyone know of any examples of something like this? The one example shipped seemed to be for VB.
Thanks Wendell

The forms API is not for Acrobat Reader. The only possibility for the
Reader would be to create an FDF file, then open that in Reader.

Software library? No. Acrobat plug-ins? Yes. Search the tools on PlanetPDF.com

Do you know of any way to set values in a pdf file via c++?
It would seem that folks would need this (for example to set the values on the IRS forms from a tax program).
If not from the SDK does anyone know of a 3rd party software library which does anything like this?

As well as plug-ins, people who own Acrobat (not Reader) can use the
Forms API through OLE to set form fields. A more popular way is to
generate FDF files and load them into a PDF.
