Creating a PDF containing Form Fields for input
Hi there people,

As google is not helping my quest very much i turn to these forums. I've used various modules to create a .pdf file in a browser wich work fine. Now i want to add 'interactivity' to this file. Meaning, i'd like to add fields for text-input and 'intelligent' dropdown-lists or boxes (much like an html page) for people to select and have the related data posted into the pdf.

So far i have not found any information but 'use Acrobat' to create such a pdf, but that's not what i'm looking for at all. In case you'd be sitting on some document, resource, module or tutorial on how to accomplish just this i'd be most gratefull.

Please post your advice related to this question, it is becoming essential for me to get this to work but have limited resources to accomplish this goal.

Thank you for your consideration,

Joris

Hi Joris

Did you find a solution? I've been working with the same and ended up writing an extra module for PDF::API2.
