I have PDF forms that I want to populate with data. I want to be able to save the data and change it, and reprint the form with the updated data.
An example of the forms is here: http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/pdf/DistrictCourtsRules/DCR-Form-2.pdf I don't want to have to buy full adobe acrobat at whatever inflated price it may be (not forgetting there are probably 7 people in the office needing to use these forms, and more if it becomes a generic solution to other problems). I envisage probably a web page which asks questions needed to populate the form - probably a standard LAMP arrangement. I can probably figure all that out, its getting the data into the PDF form which has fields etc generated by someone else that is the difficulty. I am aware of reportlab (python pdf api) http://www.reportlab.org/rl_toolkit.html . Figuring out how to use it in this context is another matter. Any tips or pointers would be valued highly.
