PDF as forms

[Ashley Pritchard]

How unfortunate for you. If you paid for the software then you should have
the right to run it in any OS that you want. But here is another solution -
pdftk (The PDF Toolkit) this is command line only for manipulating PDF
documents. You can use it to mergePDF files, split PDF pages into a new
document. decrypt input if necessary, encrypt output, fill PDF forms with
FDF data, flatten forms, apply background watermark, repair a corrupt PDF &
more.
To kinstall on F7 you just type as root: yum install pdftk.
There is also perl-PDF-API2: ypu can download here:

I did not find a F7 version
