The FAQ to wPDF-Tools states:
"Can I use wPDF to read and print PDF files ?
Sorry, this is not possible.
What wPDF does is to reuse the data stored in an existing PDF file
as watermarks for a new PDF file.
While doing this it preserves the original information and does not
interpret and translate the PDF file.
This functionality is in particular useful when 'printing' to government forms."
And in the thread "problems using pdf's as watermarks" we read:
"PDF as watermark only works for PDF files which are not linearized.
Unfortunately newer PDF readers are not very good with watermarks,
so this feature should not be used. "
We would like to "fill in" the blanks in an existing PDF-form using our program. We have thought
of working on the PDF-forms and filling them using the canvas.
If we handle the form as a graphic (not as a watermark) we encounter the following two problems:
a) The form uses too much memory if handled as a bitmap. The pdf-file that is created using this
method is too big.
b) When handled as a JPG, the created file is of insufficent quality.
Is it possible to use the WP-Tools to work on existing PDF-files and change (add to) their content?
thanks in advance
