in reply to Cam-PDF how to

I had a similar problem with a pdf form.
However, I could not get the CAM::PDF to work out for what I needed in this case. My solution was to print to PDF the form so that it became a flat image based pdf. I then used PDF::API2 to overlay the text/checks onto the form.

      I am still in dire need of help here. Can someone PLEASE give me an example of how to pull text out of a pdf file, change the text, then put it back, keeping the rest of the page formatting the same????
        Sorry dude --- I gave you my best shot at Re^4: Cam-PDF how to --- PDF is more of a pita than HTML -- I have no use for PDF, so I don't bother with reading the spec :/
