On a related question, I have been trying to get an
interactive PDF to both
output the completed PDF as a PDF and insert the form values
into a database
for a mortgage application. Does anyone have insights on
how to do this?

Robert,
If you want to dabble in some Java you can use the iText
library to write
the captured data to the pdf form and then push the
resulting pdf file to
the browser. http://www.lowagie.com/
