Populate PDF
in [JavaScript]

From: Andrew Poulos on 28 Dec 2009 19:07 Is it possible to populate a PDF's form fields using javascript from a browser? Google gives a few server side examples but I need it to work without server side input. Andrew Poulos

Then, the user's browser would have to rewrite the PDF file 'on the fly'... Cheers, JR

Or does it *have* to happen before the PDF is loaded? Andrew Poulos
