    Hello all!

    I’ve spent the better part of today and now have a beautiful interactive PDF membership form that can be filled out, e-mailed and printed. It even calculates the dollar amounts! It was created in Acrobat form designer Live Cycle.

    Now, what I want is to have it load as a web page rather than be a download link which launches Acrobat. I just can’t seem to get GoLive SC2 to utilize the PDF. Not as an import; can’t seem to embed object; open PDF file takes the interactivity away; dragging file name into html page turns it into a gif. I know it can be done… just how!?

    Thanks, Joan

    hello…

    you could put it in an iframe – if you make the content of the iframe a pdf, then it will appear to sit in the page but the user can interact with it as if was in a separate browser window – here’s an example i whipped up:

    hope that helps!
