Hi Bruno,our user wants to "design" himself the layout of the final document using word or excel and then create a pdf with distiller or similar tools. The final document contains the skeleton of the application model with company images and some fixed data but a lot should be added at run time. That's there where my job would start from. Note that this layout would change very often, while data to insert are always quite te same. Could annotations fit into this design-update process ?
Let him use OpenOffice Writer instead of XLS or Word. See screenshot in attachment. Set the parameters correctly for every form element, and export it to PDF. For instance, the following Data Sheet is created using Open Office: http://1t3xt.info/examples/resources/classroom/filmfestival/datasheet.pdf Filling it out with iText is a piece of cake: http://1t3xt.be/?X000084 best regards, Bruno
