Is there a way to generate a PDF that could read in form data from an external file of some kind (perhaps a text file) and populate the fields?

Hi apastuszak,
I really do not know in the FOSS world how to go about this, something to put in the future to-do book (it keeps growing), but I populate pdf forms in Acrobat Pro with fdf files.

. How are you getting the data or are you inputting it yourself?
Wish I could be more help.
