[thelist] Dynamic PDF editing - conversion????

[Ryan Mayberry]

I worked on a similar project once. It was for a printing company that
wanted customers to update PDF templates over the web and have a file
produced for the printers to work from. We had the users put information
into a form which edited the raw data of an EPS file. Then we ran a script
which dumped the EPS file into a folder that Acrobat Distiller monitored and
automatically turned new EPS files into high-res PDF files.

The key will be if you can edit the EPS script properly. The EPS file format
can be a little kooky.

Anyway, I wasn't the programmer on the project so I can't give any more
details than that. I do offer these links if you haven't seen them yet.

SO you want to changed thos or add somthing to existing pdf form the web?  
If so you're not going to like this...you can't.  The only way or in your 
case maybe the best way is to download or load them onto your computer and 
use Illustrator to cahnge thos images and add or remove stuff so on and so 
on.  The you can save them as EPS if you so wish.
