Clarification of Question by

We have a requirement to allow mark up in our pdf dynamically reports
from a desktop application. Currently the reports are generated using
crystal reports. These are dynamic and complex reports, so we must
generate from crystal. We will like to replace crystal with another
report engine that allows the generated reports to inherit PDF
extensibility. The report is generated from a desktop application that
is not networked, but its self contained... application connects to
desktop Sybase Adaptive server anywhere database.
Question? How can we achieve the requirements of making the generated
pdf report to allow mark up once its created, and all must be done at
application run time. the marked-up pdf files must be able to allow
save as, or retain all the mark ups, signature, comments, etc.
We tried using adobe life cycle to reader extend the files but we can
only extend a static pdf, Adobe told us that we can only attend a
static pdf, but our pdf are dynamically generated. Is there tool or
SDK or something of sort other than the adobe server that can be used
to achieve extending the generated pdf files? or is there a way to
achieve that programmatically? or, what options do we have?
If you know of any option that we have, I will appreciate it so much.
