Here is something you can try:
Add text fields to your PDF file. (Must have full version of Acrobat)
Export the fields to an FDF file. (From inside full version of Acrobat)
Modify the FDF file (it's a text file) so that the PDF file reference is a
URL for the PDF file on your server.
Set your link(s) to a PERL script that
1) reads in the FDF file on your server
2) replaces the text value with the text of your choosing
3) outputs the FDF file to the user
The user gets an FDF file returned to his/her browser that kicks off the
Acrobat Reader plug-in. Reader then sees that it needs to also retrieve the
PDF file and does so while updating the text fields you added.
Works for me.

Hello!
I want to offer PDF-Files for download on my site. But before the
download starts,
I want to write some individuell text to the top or bottom of
that file.
Does anyone know how to manipulate PDFs? Is there an perl-module
that achieves this?
Thanx in advance
Franz
