Connecting a pdf to a database and passing a specific parameter through a URL

Question

Hi,
I have a product data sheet that I want to personalise with partner logos. I need to pass a parameter from a url string to the form and have it populate a specific spot with the partner logo.
How would I go about doing that. I have LiveCycle Designer 8
Thanks,
Nolan

yea.. looks like a mess true.., cos i was puttin all 2geda in a haste..
this is my midlet code....
TextField uname, upass, uacc;
url ="http://localhost:8080/serv/Ser";
uname = new TextField("Firstname:","",30,TextField.ANY);
form.append(uname);
upass = new TextField("Lastname:","",30,TextField.ANY);
form.append(upass);
uacc = new TextField("Account ID:","",30,TextField.ANY);
form.append(uacc);
void connect( String url ) throws IOException {
HttpConnection http =null;
InputStream iStrm =null;
    StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
    try {
      http = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
     http.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
http.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
http.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-CA");
http.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
iStrm = http.openDataInputStream();
System.out.println(http.getResponseMessage());
System.out.println(http.getResponseCode());
int ch;
while((ch=iStrm.read()) != -1)
b.append((char) ch);
conn.setString(b.toString());
System.out.println(b.toString());
display.setCurrent(conn);
catch(Exception ex)
System.out.println(ex);
conn.setString(String.valueOf(ex));
ex.printStackTrace();
finally
if(iStrm!=null)
iStrm.close();
if(http !=null)
http.close();
}and this is my servlet code.
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException,ServletException
try
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:8080","root","pass");
PreparedStatement stat = con.prepareStatement("Select custaid from customers_old where firstname=? and surname=? and custAID=?");
stat.setString(1,req.getParameter("uname"));
stat.setString(2,req.getParameter("upass"));
stat.setString(3,req.getParameter("uacc"));
