I have an existing PDF and would like to populate some areas on the form using values from fields of an ASPX page form.
is this possible to do with Telerik (reporting) in some way? If so, how?
I can create the fields on the PDF to be populated using Acrobat if necessary, but also have Telerik Reporting. Not sure what all it can do (besides OUTput to PDF).
Thanks for any assistance.

Hello Mark,
Till now Telerik reporting can not read PDF files (i.e. use PDF files as report definition) but you can prepare a report to look like your PDF document and later export it to a PDF file. I have attached a sample solution with both windows and web forms exported to a pdf document.
Please check the sample to see how we are using a DataTable (Report1DataSource class from Reports::Report1DataSource.cs file) to transfer the form's data to the report.
For the Web form please, review the code inside the button's event handler (methods generatePdfDoc_Click and ExportToPDF inside WebSite1::Default.aspx.cs file) where the report is exported into PDF document.
More about programmatic export to PDF you can find in this article as well as in the reporting documentation.
All the best,
