hi there,

i have a new small project to do with the following problem:

i get a file (text-file) with invoices from an external system.

I want to 'overlay' this file with a form, which is a PDF-document.

the question is: is it possible to write 'into the PDF'-form the contents of the text-file ? if yes, how is it possible ?

regards, Martin

well,

this is not what i need, sorry

i don't want to convert the text-file into a PDF-file.

i have an existing PDF-file (a FORM with all the overlay, like graphics, company-logo, etc....). and i have a text file. and i want to 'merge' the text into

the pdf-file.

Hi

Doing things the simple way, why not read the contents of the file into an internal table with each row as a single line type and pass it to your form, in the form write the contest to a text note at the place you want it. Let me know if there are any other dependencies or complications involved.

Hi Martin,

By PDF form I suppose it's a SmartForm and you have all authorizations to edit it. Please let me know if I am wrong somwhere.
