PDF forms are used my many institutions for many purposes:
- tax forms
- applications (brokerage, banking, etc)
- etc.

While filling out (by hand) a number of downloaded PDF forms recently, it
occured to me that a really nice feature, IMHO, would be the ability to import a
PDF form (as is, or pre-converted to an image) and display that form [image] as
wallpaper.

This would allow forms to be filled out more professionally and printed either
together on blank paper, or only the fields onto pre-printed forms.  

Of course, such capability would be nice in the spreadsheet portion too.  Also,
the ability to use database fields to create multiple documents would be nice;
though this would be a side-effect of existing features.

Some organizations (NC Dept of Revenue) have PDF forms which have editable
fields; but these "smart" forms are very few and far between.

I would think such a feature would raise eyebrows.  I would certainly make use
of such a capability.

Thanks!

Whereever a PDF is created that is supposed to get input the creator's have it 
in their hands to make it editable. A function that will emulate this behaviour 
afterwards is way to complex to program not to mention possible legal issues!
