Many many times, I have gotten a PDF form that I have had to fill in. I always have to resort to printing the form out and filling it in by hand with a pen. This sucks.
I am wondering, what is the feasibility of something like Abiword "rendering" (using ghostscript, acrobat, xpdf, whatever) the PDF and allowing the user to "type on top" of it? The "cat's ass" would be to print the PDF and the text typed on top of it all in one shot, but even if Abiword just printed the added text so that a page had to be printed twice (once to put the PDF on it and the second time to put the text on top of the PDF), that would be sufficient. I just want to be able to do the "word processor" equivillent of putting a printed form into a typewriter and typing onto it. Thots? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
