Scrape a web form and fill a pdf form

Ok, I admit, I don't use AutoIt as much as I should. :

I've built scripts that scrape a command line input and feed it into a webpage, but now I have to go backwards to a degree. I need to take the information that is entered into a form on the web page and then insert it into a pdf form in Acrobat Reader.

I can do the normal stuff, open the file and open the correct form, then have the user save it and print it. Those won't be a problem. The issue is the scraping from IE to AcroReader. I will know the form field names on both sides, so I think this should be relatively simple, but I want to ensure I'm going the right direction.

If I'm right, should it be similar to the _IEFormElementSetValue? (Just with something else which goes into Acrobat Reader?)

Thanks in advance for any help pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Tony
