The latter - provide an EMPTY PDF to the user and then merge the data on the
server side.

Hello. We are dealing with a situation similar to the one in this post :
http://www.nabble.com/Setting-a-text-value-causes-PDF-to-lose-ability-to-save-data.-%22usage-rights%22-setting-is-lost.-td12261880.html#a12263797
We also want to edit an acroform using itext and allow the user to edit the
same file using Acrobat Reader afterwards. I understand that this cannot be
done because of Adobe license restrictions. I wanted to ask about the
alternative mentioned in the above "thread" by Leonard:
"The alternative is to switch from a mail-based system to a web-based one
where the user POSTS the data back to a web server (ala HTML), since this
can be done w/o the need for reader enabling the PDF."
So as far as I can tell what he means is :Create a pdf with an acroform that
includes a "submit" button, which will POST all the acroform data in fdf
format to a servlet or what ever we want.
But doesn't that lead to the same problem? How can I use a pdf form that I
have already edited using iText, as a submit form for the user?
Or did he mean : simply provide the same EMPTY pdf each time to the user and
merge the data at the server side?
