Andy I have not used this myself (so standard disclaimers apply), but have you looked at the itext website - http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ One of the items mentioned is "Automate filling out of PDF forms." Perhaps this could be linked with Cocoon in some way?

I can't find any mention of them on either the Cocoon or FOP sites, which suggests to me it can't. Nor do I see anything related to forms in the w3's XSL:FO pages, so I suppose they're outside its scope. I see there's an itext block in the Cocoon sources (though the itext serializer doesn't appear in the docs) which simply passes the SAX stream through to iText's SAXiTextHandler. Is the expected input XML format for this documented anywhere? Judging by the samples, it's certainly not using XSL:FO. And, before I forget, this is for Cocoon 2.1; there's no itext block listed in the 2.2 docs at http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/blocks/ Andy. -- http://pseudoq.sourceforge.net/ Open source java Sudoku application --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright terms and conditions, e-mail legal notice, and implemented Open Document Format (ODF) standard.
