Greetings:
I made the mistake of purchasing Adobe Acrobat because I wanted to be
able to create and save pdf forms that could themselves be saved after
filled out. You can do that with Acrobat (not Reader). I downloaded a
bunch of forms from the government, but they are not editable. I used
Acrobat to create editable fields on the forms, that can then be
printed and saved as pdf forms. Unfortunately, either that is the most
buggy piece of software I've ever seen, or it is just me, because it
unexpected quits constantly at first, and now won't even load without
unexpectedly quitting. I've reinstalled it repeatedly, no go.
So....
1. Is there another app that can do the same thing? or
2. Is this something that can be relatively easily done using Cocoa?
(I wouldn't mind writing a new app for the forms I need....i.e.
creating the forms themselves in Cocoa)...but they have to be able to
be based on existing pdfs that I get from the government.
I'm new to Cocoa, but I have taken a course a while back. (Right now
I'm going back through the book for the course).
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew
