Re: Is it possible to fill out a .pdf form using RPG?

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably the biggest challenge (at least in my mind) is the "Fill Out 
the Form" part of your question.  If it is a form that you don't 
originate and you need to fill fields in the form, you have a greater 
challenge than if you originate the form yourself, completing the fields 
as you create the form.

iText (a Java open source project) can do this and I have some code that 
wraps the iText API but it is pretty much oriented to creating a 
columnar report.  Changing that code to either fill fields in an 
existing pdf or to create a new form wouldn't be trivial but is would be 
doable.
