I would like to open an existing PDF, draw text onto it and then save the changed PDF as a new file. What functions should I be looking into for this?

Is it as simple as:

LoadFromFile PDF
DrawText (xpos,ypos,text)
DrawText (xpos,ypos,text)
DrawText (xpos,ypos,text)
DrawText (xpos,ypos,text)
DrawText (xpos,ypos,text)
DrawText (xpos,ypos,text)
SaveToFile NewPDF

Or do I have to look at layers? The original PDF is a form (not a PDF form, just a normal form) and I'm trying to retain the form's appearance while only adding text to fill it in.

Thanks!

Hi,

There is some sample code that shows how to apply text on a PDF [ http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=184 - here ].

Cheers!
