< snip> Hi Carlos, At work various pdf forms are available and I've been able to save many of them using the version of acrobat that comes with openSUSE 10.2 (+ whatever updates have come out). These are simple forms with dates, text fields, number fields, etc. Not all forms are like that of course, but there ARE some that work. Unfortunately, I can't help you with getting this to work, other than to let you know that it is possible. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
