Hi,
I'm intereted in creating a small app that will gather info from a user and then use it to fill in a predefined
form this is in pdf format. My initial thought it to scan a printout of the form and then read the file, write
the appropriate fields at the pixel level and then write out the modified image. This seems tedious both in
terms of my time - figuring out the size and location of fields in pixels - and in terms of what the program
will need to do. Before I go reinventing the wheel I thought I'd check to see if anyone has seen a better
solution (a package/api for writing to pdf forms perhaps?) or maybe even has some example code...? Thanks in
advance!
