Help! I am taked with taking a bunch of basic govt pdf forms and either recreating them from scratch or somehow unlocking them so that a simple program we wrote will allow us to populate some or all of the form fields from a simple database. This mapping a name field in a data ase to a name field in the pdf and inserting the name. From there, it's pretty straight forward. Problem is i don't know what tools to use to unlock these forms so that i can begin work. the other thing is, there is a simple 2D bar code that get's populated with the info from the actual forms once populated....I want to avaoid recreating that, but if I can unlock these darn forms, it might allow for editing in the PDF. Anyone know how to do this? i see others have done this but i am stumped. Please help!!! What tools are out there that don't cost 50,000!!! I'm just a guy that needs to solve a problem :).
