There was an intermediate windows product called Acrobat business tools
that allowed some annotation and the saving of FDF data.
Then the IRS convinced Adobe to allow them to distribute free version
called Acrobat Fill-In that allowed FDF saves.
Those were both with version 4. Acrobat fill-in was just the reader
with a few of the form plug-ins. With version 5, they dropped Acrobat
business tools and replaced it with a product which I understand is
somewhere between Acrobat Fill-In and Acrobat Business Tools. It
doesn't seem this intermediate product is available for Unix. Is
anyone working on adding any of this extra functionality into the GPLed
readers/writers like ghostscript or xpdf?
