I am working on a web application that needs to create
form letters with data pulled from a database merged
into those letters. The form letters are to appear as
one long “page” in the user’s browser window. Then
when he/she goes to print from the browser, the
letters print out one after the other, one page per
letter.

I want to create the PDF output in memory by sending
the output directly to the client via the servlet’s
output stream. I would rather not write files on the
server.

One way I am considering doing this is by using an
Acrobat form (AcroForm), filling it in once for each
record pulled from the database. However, I can only
generate one letter at a time when writing directly to
the servlet’s output stream. I want to fill in the
form multiple times, sending the output as one
continuous stream.

I CAN open the Acrobat form, fill it in and save it to
a file for each letter and then copy all the files
into one file and send it to the user but that is not
what I WANT to do.

Does anybody know of a way to do what I have described
using Acrobat forms?

Thanks!

Nick
