Editable PDF forms.
I don't think that it's the case that you can generate an editable pdf form from XSL-FO but if anyone has any techniques for doing so in post production, I would greatly appreciate the tips. Or, I could just be wrong and it is possible (yes,no?) Thanks, Trevor - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or, I could just be wrong and it is possible (yes,no?) I think you meant: Is it possible to use FOP to create an editable PDF form? The answer, depends on what you mean by form. As for the editable part, I just opened up a PDF I created with FOP, and was able to edit it with Adobe Acrobat (I'd never done that before--neat!). However, if you're referring to creating a form with fields that anyone with Adobe Acrobat *Reader* can use to modify or fill out a form with, I believe the answer is no. I don't believe the current XSL-FO spec on which FOP is based calls for including PDF form fields. I understand, however, that there may be tools available that you can use to post-process FOP pdf output to enable this type of thing. Alternatively, you could create some sort of FOP Extension (fox:) which creates the form fields. You might look here for more details: http://exslfo.sourceforge.net/ If I'm wrong, I'm hoping someone will set me straight. -- Clay Leeds - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Developer - Medata, Inc. - http://www.medata.com PGP Public Key: https://mail.medata.com/pgp/cleeds.asc - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is already an extension which allows PDF code snippets to be put into the result PDF. This can be used to create PDF forms,, but requires a great deal of knowledge about PDF. Actually implementing an extension for PDF forms in a user friendly way is a significant amount of work even without event handlers and validation and all this. You might look here for more details: http://exslfo.sourceforge.net/ Don't bother, nothing interesting there.
