Hi,

I am exploring a requirement to generate PDF fillable forms.

A major decision is whether to start with our current PDF (created with a 
derivative of PStill), or build it with PDFBox from scratch. In the past I 
added bookmarks to our existing PDF files using PDFBox.

I see in the examples 
(https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/interactive/)
 that a PDAcroForm instance is being added to a newly created empty PDDocument.

Is it worth considering modifying an existing PDF document to add fillable form 
fields? Or should I not waste time with that approach and plan to create a new 
document from scratch?

IMHO it doesn't make much difference because acroform is separate from the rest. Creating fields with PDFBox is always tricky.
