Hi Robin, filling out the forms is _not_ tho problem. I know I can do
this by using evince or acroread or some other...

What I need is to advance such printable only forms so I can create new
forms from them, allowing still filling out, but additionally being
storable.

The simple question is: what prevents LO from importing such printable
only forms?

Kind regards
