It's been a few versions, so I thought I would raise this again and see if I can get an answer....
I have a LiveCycle form. I use LiveCycle because I need the functionality that allows a field to expand over multiple pages if necessary. If it weren't for that, I would be using AcroForms.
Once a person sends me their completed form (of however many pages it turned out to be), I need to flatten it so that it looks the same as when it is submitted, but without any fields (I REALLY don't want to/can't just make the fields read-only).
I have tried many things. the latest it to try to use PDF2PS and Acroread to create a PS document, then running that PS document through the distiller. The Distiller, though, doesn't recognize the output.
I have, at my disposal, all sorts of tools. Coldfusion, Acrobat Pro, and iText. I have Windows systems and Linux (I would prefer to do this in Linux).
Does anyone have a solution?
I thank you in advance.
