Progressive profile is not working when the form is used on an external landing Page?

Hello, I have created a form, with progressive Profiling turned on and am trying to use the form externally on a landing page, but am not able to auto populate the form on the landing page. Any suggestions as in what can be done to achieve this over an external landing page embedded with a Marketo form. Thanks in advance

This is most probably because you're using the embed code.  You're going to want to read the product doc page to understand that form prefill does not work with that option: Embed a Form on Your Website - Marketo Docs - Product Docs 

I think there are some custom dev solutions out there like this one: http://developers.marketo.com/blog/external-page-prefill/  as well as using iframed pages.

This is not correct. The correct answer here is Dan's below.

This is cool stuff that you shared but progressive profile is not to pre-fill, it's we need to ask what we don't have.

I'd say that link is about as uncool as it gets.

In fairness, it was the original poster that mixed up ProgPro and Pre-Fill, and Jim tuned his answer to fit the terminology they should have used. (Except that following that blog post is bad, bad idea.)

Many people confuse "progressive profiling" with "form prefill".  These are two distinct features.  As Jim mentions, forms that are integrated using the embed code do not natively support "prefill" - but do support "progressive profiling".

Thank you Dan Stevens for your input that clears the air as far as my misunderstanding goes.
