-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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. Acrobat Reader - which is is the only PDF reader that allows filling PDF forms in Linux (neither kpdf or evince even tries to work) - simply refuses to save form data. It only saves the empty form. According to http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328647&sliceId=2 we need to use another version of the reader, called "standard", which I assume is not free (as in beer). Or, alternatively, the form owner has to generate a "rights-enabled PDF form" using "Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions", which I think it is a server solution. Ie, works online somehow. 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? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFGvi/rtTMYHG2NR9URAjM9AJ9GrXyosN1WAl7lKfe155ordBnB0gCdH7xE f6ZOPfMrAyMnryBhHFp/osI= =ILA/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
