Hello, I'm trying to add an editable field in a PDF document.
Something like a form that can be filled via Adobe Acrobat.

However the resulting PDF is not editable. PDFAnnotationTextWidget
does not seem to have any difference with PDFAnnotationFreeText which
is not advertised as editable.

Tiger or Leopard? In Tiger annotations were basically read-only (they display but are basically "burned in" when the PDF is written out). In Leopard they are "real" annotations.

I was asking for Tiger. So I take that it is a documentation bug?



For Tiger I recommend sticking with the simpler graphical annotations (like FreeText, Square, etc.) since they are not interactive.

If I use PDFAnnotationTextWidget now, will my application automagically start producing editable fields when run on Leopard?
