HTML/Java forms?
Ok I am trying to create a form type system that will allow people to type in information in select boxes and when they hit submit what they type in is added to specific areas in a PDF template. An example would be a job form fillout which can than be printed out nice and easy when converted. The best example I have seen is that I can remember the location of is the Commom Application works if anyone is familiar with it. I know I have seen stuff like this in Java but just cant remember where. Any help appreciated.

No ideas on the Java, I've never used it for that sort of stuff, but why not just use a PDF form?
I'm in charge and I say we blow it up

how do you mean by form? i dont want it just downloadable i want them to be able to actually type in their information from internet explorer or whatever web browser they will be using than having that information automatically added to specific name and other information areas. If this can not be easily done any idea if can be done using just word?
thanks

PDF Forms are, literally, PDFs that you can enter data into without the backend having to do any jiggery-pokery. A brief Google brought up this, although I didn't scan it to see how useful it is. I'm sure the basics are there though.
If this isn't what you want (or is to expensive / fiddly / whatever) you could always try using PHP's PDFLib library.
