	Hi Morty, here's your starting point to all resources regarding the QuickPDF-library and other Debenu stuff: http://www.quickpdf.org/ Here you can see how to get inserted formfield content out of a pdf form: https://www.debenu.com/kb/programmatically-extract-form-field-data-pdf-files/ Here you can see how to create new form fields: https://www.debenu.com/kb/create-pdf-form-fields-programmatically/ Here you can see how to flatten the form field content to convert it to regular pdf content: https://www.debenu.com/kb/programmatically-flatten-form-fields-pdf-using-debenu-quick-pdf-library/ Here you can see how to delete all form fields: https://www.debenu.com/kb/programmatically-delete-all-form-fields-in-a-pdf/ Here you're getting ideas how to read form field content: http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/retriving-form-field-object_topic3111_post12473.html?KW=form#12473 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/filling-form-fields-with-greek-letters_topic2207_post9398.html?KW=SetFormFieldValueBy#9398 Cheers and welcome here, Ingo

	Thank you for your response. Just getting back into this now: The links you provided me help me understand how to fill form data programmatically, as well as create fields programmatically. But I am more interested in having the ability to have the end user view the PDF and fill the form out themselves. Is there PDF rendering technology for Android available? Can a end user fill out a form? and save the PDF with this library?

	Hi Morty, strange question... ;-) For this you should try the Foxit PDF Reader. It does what you want and costs nothing. QuickPDF can't do this with ready made functions like you described.
	Cheers, Ingo
