PDFlib examples

Post by Todd_Z »

Im trying to take an existing PDF, and using the original edittable fields in it, fill in default values using PDFlib.

However, apparently when you import a pdf through PDFlib, those edittable fields are ignored.

In addition, I am having a hell of time trying to add edittable fields.

Does anyone have an example script of something like this?

Thanks!

uh... so it turns out that it wasn't my code that was at fault.

Acroread for linux is at fault, I would create a text field and.... nothing would happen. Thank you acroread.

Anyone know of any fixes for this?

**FIXED**

installed acroread from source from adobe.com

sometimes apt-get just doesn't do the trick :cry:
