Subject: Re: PDF Manipulation
Hi, Mark, happy to see you again. I do not fully understand what is your
problem. From what you say, I understand that the data stored in the
database is not PDF although it is input through a PDF form. So I do not
understand why you are talking of PDF manipulation. Shouldn't the PDF form
be static, the data only being dynamic ? The client should call for a url
that would return a PDF form filled with the data. From this form, the user
would modify the data and send it back to the database. Or do you mean you
want a servlet to modify the form itself ?

Yeah, I back - in a way (in digest mode); the J2EE list sucks. ;-)
Anyway, I've got a problem that, from a thorough review of the ARCHIVES :-)
I know has been addressed by Nic and others over the past couple of years,
but none directly to my issue.
I have one solution to a problem domain that requires Java to dynamically
create PDFs from an online form. In this particular case, these are legal
forms displayed as a PDF template that an attorney fills out, and on
submit/print the data is concurrently stored in a database and transformed
into a PDF document for printing. As part of this solution, a query to the
database will also result in the dynamic creation of a PDF for
display/print/modification. I've seen no solution whatsoever that can
dynamically manipulate PDFs (user input changing data), and specifically, no
Java solution. And, of course, my idea is a servlet or servlet group that
would be doing this.
It's hard for me to imagine that server-side dynamic manipulation of PDFs
has not been an issue before, so somebody clue me in. One of my colleagues
says he thought he saw a free/shareware servlet that did this at jars.com,
but I can't find it.
Thanks, and cheers!
Mark
