Hi,
In my country our administration is using PDF forms that we can print and fill, or fill in the PC and print - but we can not save them, which is a nuisance. [...]
We have tried generating our own forms to try this.
Using OO-writer we can create a form. If this form is exported to PDF, the resulting PDF is a form with the proper fields, but acroread gives the warning that form data can not be saved, the same result as we knew.
However, one of the options when generating the PDF in OO is precisely in which way I want the data to be saved later. The reader does not respect this, but there is no other reader in Linux that can even edit forms.
So... is there any other PDF reader in Linux that allows editing and saving PDF forms? An open one. Are there plans to add that capability to the existing or new viewers? Are there legal problems?

Carlos, Have you tried the newer 1.6.3 Koffice for this? I just got a new build the other day, loaded a PDF file in full editable form into KWord and of course, you can save as PDF from KWord or print to pdf. Also, check out "cups-pdf", which allows you to create a virtual printer for direct saving/printing to a very good pdf file! regards, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
