Question

I am using editable pdf files (created by Nitro PDF Software) in my application. These pdf files have a lot of editable fields (like textboxes) and one button (like submit).

Whenever a user opens that pdf file, enters the text, and clicks the submit button they get redirected to an aspx page.

How do I get all the static and dynamic values that are posted to this page, and create another pdf file with the entered data? And how do I save the created pdf file?

How do I get all the static and dynamic values that are posted to this page?

You can retreive them as you retrieve any other value from an html control, for example:

string MyVal = Request.Form["FieldName"];

and create another pdf file with the entered data?

Here you can use a PDF library of your choice ( iText.Net, Nitro PDF, Amyuni PDF Creator.Net ), load your PDF form, set the values to each field, flatten your file if needed, and save. The code for this part depends on the library being used, but they are usally well documented so you should be able to find sample code easily.
