pick list in pdf

[Toufic Nehme <to...@canadair.ca>]

Hi,
I have a very basic question.
can I put pick list or text field inside a pdf document using FOP ?
Exemple: imagine I have in a table-cell a field called "month" and
I want to put in the next cell a list from january to december
and from which the user can pick a value.

Thanks.

Hi

A pick list is a form element which are not covered by the xsl:fo
specification so you need to do an extension of FOP. Somebody did
already this extension, so have a look at the fop-dev mailing list
archive. Try for instance following article:

Hope this helps!
