think you're doing it wrong.
My understanding of PDF forms is that they are just like any other web
form except that instead of being presented as HTML they are PDF. So
when you have people "save" a web form, you wouldn't have them save
the HTML file on a server. You have them submit the data that gets
saved in a database or something. Same with PDF forms I would think.
Submit the data instead of saving the PDF file.
Then for reporting I would use a tool to merge the data stored in a
database with a template file to recreate the printed form. Here we
would probably try using Crystal Reports to generate the printed
files. There are other tools out there to create the printable
reports, even creating PDFs.
If that's way off base from how you want to do it, then I would say
that yes, the other option would be to have the doctors save the form
on their local pc, browse to and upload it with cffile.
