Hi.

I am trying to find out if it is possible to open a pdf file from
within PHP, and parse its contents in order to extract all form
fieldnames that might have been previously setup within the pdf
itself.

I want to find this out so that I can then generate a HTML form with
all required questions, which when submitted, will generate a fdf /
xfdf file, using the techniques from the following tutorial
http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields/tutorial.php

Ideally, I don't want to have to install any libraries to help with
this though. Is it possible, and if so how?

Kind regards,

Andy
