Frank,

Thanks for the link..  I have not had a good experience with ImageMagick
with pcl files so I did think of it at first; may it works better with
pdf files.  I'll take a look.

Frank,

I finally had the time to work on this project, and was able to get
'convert' of ImageMagick to create a new pdf file with some merged
text, but it was not easy.  Also, the converted file had less
resolution that the original file making the result less than desirable
as a finished product.  

What I would really like to be able to do is to run a script that can
fill in the input fields of the pdf file on the fly and then create a
new pdf file with the same resolution as the virgin pdf file that has
the appropriate fields with entered data.

Do you or does anyone else have anything like this working????

Sure appreciate everyone's help!!!!

Greg
