Re: Filling out PDF forms with data from DBI?

in reply to Filling out PDF forms with data from DBI?

We tried CAM::PDF but had problems with the formatting and alignment of the filled in values. For example, there were money-formatted fields that were aligned right and prefixed with a dollar sign, and then other fields were centered. When filling them out, the resulting PDF had no money formatting and everything was aligned left. I emailed the author of CAM::PDF and did some digging, turns out it's handled by javascript or something internally and the PDF CAM::PDF writes isn't that great. I, too, was disappointed with the lack of CPAN modules for this task. Proprietary file formats suck :(
