I think what the OP wants is a program that can deal with the Adobe's 'Fill In Form' type of PDF. The PDF Toolkit (I have pdftk-1.12-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm on my system -- for CentOS 4 and don't know if a el5 version exists) has a CLI program that can do this (you need to dump the form information and create a FDF file). Otherwise, I believe Adobe's Reader is the only program available that does this with a GUI. I don't believe xpdf can do this and what OpenOffice / LibreOffice do is something else (an import of the PDF in the writer tool as a word processing document or something, which can then be edited and re-exported as a PDF). > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
