Creating fillable pdf forms/ templates using BIRT
shikaris
I would like to know if it is possible to create
Fillable PDF forms from a BIRT report i.e. I want to use the BIRT designer to create a report layout, with text, content and fields. The output should be a fillable pdf where users can fill in the fields

That's currently not possible. The BIRT designer doesn't allow you to create PDF forms.

<p>Is there anything new on this topic? Will fillable forms work?</p>

<p>The version of the third party PDF library that BIRT uses for the PDF emitter (iText) does not have this feature.</p>

<p>It is possible to upgrade the library, and you are welcome to add in interactive forms / fillable fields by modifying the PDF emitter (source code on GitHub @ <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='
