Overlay form pdf on non-form pdf

Post by MPCE »

Greetings,

Is it possible to overlay a pdf with forms over another pdf (no forms) and still have the forms function? I've tried using the formed pdf as a Stamp, but no go. The stamp comes in fine, but none of the fields are clickable.

I'm not sure if this is even possible. Can someone enlighten me?

Cheers!

Hello MPCE,

I can not think of a software that can actually do that. A more plausible solution is to use a product capable of creating new forms - and add the new Fields on top of an existing file.

For now our Viewer doesn't have a forms designer, but we are working on it as a feature to be introduced in ver3:

(after the initial release).

Best,

Yes...I thought as much. It's not mission critical, more of a "nice to have". No matter what a piece of software can do, we always wish it could do "one more thing".

Thanks for the reply.

Cheers!

Hello David,

Well this is certainly something on our radar. It's just that we can't do it yet.

Thanks for the understanding and cheerful reply!

Best,
Stefan
