Hey Leonard,
Well, in essence the PDF's will be agency created and may or may not be
allowed to be submitted online (this is on Windows, they could be viewed
standalone or in browser). I am basically trying to fathom if I can
tell if the PDF can be submitted online (to a CGI script or alike). Can
I tell if the PDF has a form action and/or certain property which can
tell me if it can be submitted?
I will be leveraging the tools with iText using ColdFusion (but any Java
solution I can re-engineer to CF would do!)
Hope this is clear.

What is it that you are really trying to achieve here?
I ask, because there is a LOT more to a PDF being "submittable
online" than just the PDF itself...
The two questions:
1) "What version of what PDF viewer on what OS platform is
being used?"
2) "Is the PDF viewed inline in the browser or stand-alone in
Acrobat/Reader?"
The answers to these questions are EXTREMELY important as all
of these variables (version, viewer, OS, & inBrowser) play a factor in
whether ANY given PDF can be submitted online.
