Is it possible to create an editable PDF using Formatting Objects?Not really. xsl-fo doesn't define any interactive input fields.
Hey, what's wrong with html? Why do you need pdf here?I want to be able to let my users be able to download a PDF template from the web. Then I want them to populate certain fields in the PDF document, and save that PDF. When they upload that PDF again, I want to read their input and update my DB. (Since there is a lot of fields to be updated which would take several hours, I can't have them do this in the same Web session, hence the need for them to do this offline.)
That's ok, you can do it, but that doesn't require interactive pdf.I read somewhere that some publishers use the above method for publishing stories/ Reports in a pre-formatted manner. They get the XML of the story or a Report, and apply it to a PDF template, instead of creating PDFs each time for creating the same report or similar story.
