Onderwerp: Re: [PDF-Forms] Filling out & saving a PDF form using Reader
PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/
__________________________________________________________________
Given that so many people want the functionality of being able to save
a filled-out form to disk, it won't be long before someone provides it
-- either as inexpensive shareware, or as open source software.
Example: Microsoft Office rules the roost with respect to word
processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software. Sun Microsystems
released StarOffice to the public domain, and a large group of
volunteer programmers took up the standard. OpenOffice is now used by a
growing and significant number of people. It is a very clean app, and
it's free for the download from http://www.openoffice.org for just
about any OS including Mac OS. Last year, the city of Munich changed
from Microsoft OS to Linux, and of course Open Office. That's a lot of
cash out of MS's coffers, even considering government discounts.
People running MacOS needed a plug-in for viewing PDF's in a browser.
Schubert-It provided one--free. It doesn't have all the bells and
whistles of Acrobat or Reader, but it works for viewing most PDF's.
Adobe can either wake up and provide the functionality which its
customers want, or risk losing those customers to the open source
programs. There are already several PDF creation programs available
free. It's just a matter of time before those become extended to
provide the additional functionality that users want.
