"To be fair" (one of my least favourite phrases), Adobe did not go to
all the trouble of inventing the PDF thing for it to be portable; they
invented it as a way to make money. The fact that, at a later date,
Adobe made the PDF more accessible is super: but, a bit like Willy
Wonka, one must read the small print.

For those interested, I was having a problem creating an fdf file from a
fillable pdf form, or even exporting the data using pdftk server. I think I
figured out why! In order to create fillable pdf forms that can be filled by
non-acrobat applications like Reader or Preview, they need to be saved in a
special format. This format precludes even Acrobat from accessing those
fillable fields, without first saving the form as a standard pdf. It's a catch
22. Make my forms universally accessible and lock myself out of them, or else
make them so that only Acrobat can fill them. Thanks Adobe!
