The Pennsylvania attorneys CD project. Remember where we had a PDF form
that used XFDF files for the variable data. What I'm trying to find is
something that will work like that but also be able to save the data to
disk as a completed PDF and/or a user-selectable file (could be text or
formatted like XFDFs).
I like the idea of the solution being based on PDF since everyone has
Acrobat Reader... and it's a nice container for this sort of thing...
But all of my research suggests that Adobe has intentionally made this
difficult. If there's a better solution, then I'm willing to explore...
