Hi Larry, PoDoFo currently does not support form filling using any high level API. So you should be aware that you have to work a bit with the low level PDF data structures. But this is maybe PoDoFo's strongest point: you can always work with the low level structures in PDF quite confortably.
A good start might be to take a look on the PoDoFo form generation part. Take
a look at test/FormTest/FormTest.cpp. This example shows how to create a
simple form using PoDoFo. You should be able to create a FDF for any form
quite easily and save it into any PDF. Once you did for "new" forms, your
code should be pretty simple to adapt to work on existing PDF files.
Well, it will easier to give you hints if you have more concrete questions.
If you encounter missing features in the PoDoFo API, we will try to enhance
them where needed. Patches are of course very welcome :)
One note before you start: At the moment it is better to directly work with
trunk as it contains more patches than the last release and we intend to make
a release out of trunk very soon (I wanted to make a chistmas release, but
preferred to take may holidays first, so you may expect a "New Years Eve"
release :) ).
best regards,
Dom
