pdftk issue solved

[Richmond]

"To be fair" (one of my least favourite phrases), Adobe did not go to 
all the trouble of inventing the PDF thing for it to be portable; they 
invented it as a way to make money. The fact that, at a later date, 
Adobe made the PDF more accessible is super: but, a bit like Willy 
Wonka, one must read the small print.

In order to create fillable pdf forms that can be filled by non-acrobat applications like Reader or Preview, they need to be saved in a special format. This format precludes even Acrobat from accessing those fillable fields, without first saving the form as a standard pdf. It's a catch 22. Make my forms universally accessible and lock myself out of them, or else make them so that only Acrobat can fill them. Thanks Adobe!
