If you are a HIPAA shop then I'm sure your IT team is paying proper attention

Very bad. Unless you don't have any sensitive info that needs to

Are you using pdftk to do the PDF-FDF merge? If so, there are a couple
of commands starting with "dump" that can tell you a little bit more
about what pdftk is seeing in the document, perhaps a clue.

The student has exceeded the teacher :) My customers use CutePDFPro
for all of the PDFs they need to turn into data-fillable ones.

In LibreOffice, with the textbox control selected, you can right-mouse
click over an existing textbox, select "Control" and get a property
page where you tell it to be multi-line and turn off the scroll bars,
but I don't see an option to "rubber-band" the length

Don't you hate it when you're backed into a corner, but you can't use
the tool that would solve the problem?

Hi,
I would also go for FoxyPreviewer, would not be able to construct an app
without this class. You can export to virtualy anything: Word, Excel,PDF,
RTF and print a normal report, with not more than one (1) mouseclick.
Forget about anything else, the more FP is free and 100% VFP.

If you're using VFP tables or cursors, FoxyPreviewer lets you export
seamlessly to PDF.
