Re: Working with an existing PDF doc

I actually just finished messing around with something like this.
Basically the task was to have a form where users would input stuff
and that needs to be autofilled into a pdf (already created). I used
pdftk (http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/) and a php script called
(forge_fdf http://www.pdfhacks.com/forge_fdf/) which would dump the
data to the pdf.

I took the pdf i was given and I added fields to the original pdf that
would get filled in from the form. pdftk allows to to completly
control the pdf, add passwords (user and owner) and restrict the pdf
(edit,print,view) and encrypt it and even flatten the fields.

Hi gang:

I can create a pdf document "on-the-fly" pretty easily, as shown here:

However, what I need is to find out how to open an existing pdf
document and insert data into it -- does anyone have any experience
in doing this, or references they can point me to?

As always, mondo thanks for those who reply.
