Hi Guy,
  The best way to do it uses a technology called FDF.  You basically add
form fields to the PDF using Acrobat or Illistator and then make an FDF or
XFDF (its FDF+XML ;-) and merge the two.  The result is the form filled in.
As far as I know there isn't a great way to do that inside Ruby, but there
is an app called pdftk (which doesn't actually use TK btw) and I usually
shell out to that.

Best Of Luck,
Rob
