Could you place this form somewhere for everybody to see? I would try to convert this form to PostScript, e.g. on Linux with: pdf2ps input.pdf output.ps and import the resulting output.ps into Scribus. Then simply put a second layer on top of it and .. whatever you desire :) cheers Maciej ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de
