Thanks for that tip. And I later realized thats where I got 
confused with my first read-through of the docco (thinking I 
could do a simple 'replace value'). For this project though, 
it's not practical for someone to create a PDF 'form'. I've got 
an action generating a blank html form which $customer can print 
to pdf (hopefully they can at least do that, I'm still working 
through it with them) which PDF::Reuse loads as the template.

I'm still working out how to best specify the X/Y coords for 
each value though. I've got it all working; the hard part is 
next, explaining it all to the customer.

Thanks,
Charlie
