I understand how to extract text using this module and that part works great. I can even manipulate the text to say what I want it to. I just can't figure out how to take the new text, put it where the old text was, then output the new text with the rest of the contents in the pdf file to a new file. Can anyone, please, show me an example code on how to do this? Basically, I've got a pdf form I'm trying to fill in, but none of the fields are marked in the pdf code as fields, SO, I'm extracting the text, adding in the values after the labels and then wanting to re-construct the form and save it. Please help! Thank you
