PurePDF Question

I've just downloaded and started looking at PurePDF and its examples. I am pretty braindead at the moment, so it will take me a bit to fully understand its potential.

Can someone help me with a question?

This is a scenario I need to deal with and I'm not sure it can be done.

I need to load an existing PDF form. Then I need to add numerous text fields to the file and then save it as a new file.

Is that possible with PurePDF?

Thanks,
Terry

No, it's not possible.

PurePDF does not load PDF files, it creates new ones from scratch.

Thanks. That is what I surmised on initial read, but just thought maybe there was a way.

Hi Terry,

to be able to manipulate existing PDF files, you need some special library. We use QuickPDF for such purposes. It costs money but it is definitely worth the cost.
