    PDF forms and FDF

    I have some PDF forms of varoius documents (invoices, ...)
    and I would like to populate them with data from MySQL
    with PHP (on win2k3)

    I tried fdf_* functions, the field filling works fine,
    but my mission is not yet complete:

    - Acrobat Reader can't save the complete document
    (form + PDF). Can I merge "FDF" and "PDF" at the server
    side using PHP ? How ?

    - It seems that Acrobat reader on Linux could not
    fill in forms. Many other non-acrobat reader can't.
    Anyone has tryed with Acrobat Reader for linux ?
    This problem will be solved if I could merge "FDF" and
    "PDF" at the server side.

    - In all my modules I need to replicate one or more pages.
    For example in a tipical invoice form I have only 10
    lines available, so I must replicate the invoice form
    as many times as needed in the resulting PDF.
    How can I achieve it ? I found fdf_add_templat e() but
    it's totally undocumented ! Is it the right function for me ?
    Ho does it works ?

    Many thanks for your help
