    This is used by the entire organization. Current count: 200 users and 450+ forms...and growing. Each form already has a unique identifier in the database. Intranet requires login session based on ldap credentials, thus, I already know the user, department, and location from ldap group membership.

      Heh, I don't understand your question, what is you're talking about?

      are you really asking how to edit pdfs to add some stuff (buttons/uuids)?

      Maybe: $subID = sprintf '%s-%s-%s', $formID, $userID, $dateTimeStamp
