      you mean pdf2ps stops working?




I meant no such thing. I think you're just misunderstanding a few of the posters here and what we're trying to say.

What I'm saying is, once you reprint the form to a new PDF, the form fields are not recognizable on their own any more. They hold no more importance than the rest of the document.

      you may have to do some parsing




Sure. You probably could but man, that sounds like a ton of work separating the former form data from all the other text on the form. I don't see the point. It would be way easier just to fill the form out by hand and mail it in.
