John Hewson closed PDFBOX-25.
-----------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Due to a lack of demand, this is unlikely to happen. Feel free to open a new issue - patches are welcome.

> What we need (but will probably run up against Adobe patents
> trying to implement) is an XDP processor that does some or
> all of what Adobe Form Server (or LiveCycle Forms) does:
> take the form specified in the XDP file and generate client
> side HTML/Javascript via servlets and JSPs.  The
> HTML/Javascript (I'm guessing, since I don't have $30000
> required to license Form Server) will include all the
> validation provided in the PDF form (through Adobe Reader),
> and the backend servlet will also be responsible for
> connecting to data sources (ODBC, XML w/ schema, etc),
> posting the updated data, providing pre-filled PDF and or
> XML versions of the data to be downloaded, emailed, etc.
> I suppose we could start by transforming the XDP using XSLT
> to generate simple text, checkbox, radio, select and submit
> inputs...
