[pdftex] FORMS of hyperref only work with AcrobatProfessional ??

Thank you Ross,
====================

>You should write the script to show you *exactly* what is

>according to whether it came from a PDF or HTML form.

>I think you'll find that the data reaches the script,
>but the script doesn't recognise the format, so returns
>empty values for the submitted fields.
-----------------
It appears that for PDF-Latex, we do not have some languages such as PERL,
PHP which take care of the formats from PDF. Several years ago, I use
C-language for HTML-cgi because I know their format. Now I do NOT KNOW
PDF-format and have nowhere to start without a simple example of script-file
correcting data from PDF-forms.

Thank you. Will look for simple script-files to process data from PDF-forms.
