Scripting pdf-formfields (app preview)

Hi,

is there any way to script the input in form fields (text input) of PDF-documents with the Preview application?

I've some PDF-files which contain text-input fields and i want to fill the fields by script and then print them for further use.

With Preview i can open this files, click at the first input field, enter the text, step to the next input field with the tab key (or by mouseclick) and finally can print the document includiing the entered text.

I've tried to use System Events but there's no chance (at least for me) to activate the first input field.

Any help appreciated,

-- Kurt
