Hello, Sorry to give such a traumatizing example, but here is the U.S. IRS 1040A income tax form:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040a.pdf Question: If I wanted to convert a to-be-filled-out PDF form available on the web (such as this one) to an XSL that can be generated by FOP or a commercial implementation (with user-added text printed on it), what is the process?* a) Would I have to manually declare every line, every checkbox, plus all the background text of the form within the FO, in addition to what the user may enter in? (I hope not!) b) Can I somehow make a BMP or JPEG of the generic form, and just specify it as a background to the XSL. Then, I would just need to hardcode the locations of where the user-entered text will go. (I hope so!) If (b), what format does one normally save the background PDF document as? Also, what fo:object do I use to specify this graphic as the background? Thanks, Glen *My goal is not to convert the 1040A form itself--I'm just using this form as an example. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
