No, after using "flatten" in PDFTK, the FDF content is embedded into the PDF file. For this reason, all interactive fields are not editable anymore. Does anyone try this command in MacOSX? I tested PDFTK in Windows and Ubuntu and this works fine: pdftk.exe C:\PDFwithForms.pdf fill_form C:\data.fdf output FilledPDF.pdf flatten There are many samples of PDF and matching FDF files inside these compressed folders from Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/fdftoolkit.html By the way, PDFTK Pro version is only 4 dollars. Dr. Hawkins, Could you include a Pro license of PDFTK with each copy of your software? This would cover all your present and future uses of PDF in your own software.
