PDF Forms

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Skip,
Quartam PDF Library only supports writing PDF files, at the moment - not reading or manipulating them.
It's on the ever-growing list of functionality to research and develop, but I have no idea when I'll delve into that area of the PDF specification.
However, as it is an open source project everybody's welcome to join in and add such support :-)

In the meantime, your best bet is using the iTextJava library via a background process.
A while back, I blogged about this approach to concatenate PDF files and stamp them with an image:

Just shout if you decide to go down this path and need a hand.

Subject: PDF Forms

I have researched in the forums a little bit but have not really found
a solid solution so I will post it here.  Is there any robust PDF
solution for LiveCode?  I have a series of PDF forms that I need to
apply field data to these forms and save them back out as PDFs.  Most
of the forms are also password protected as well so when reading them
in I would need to be able to pass the password along to the document.
