I don't. That's exactly what I was hoping to do, but I couldn't
find a way to do it (without expensive commercial solutions, or
without using hand-crafted PDF 'forms').

I've got a form config which $customer can change (add fields,
etc) and I've included X/Y coords as part of the config. That
was the only way I could get it working in limited time I've got.

I can share code with you if it will help (maybe offlist would
be better).

Unfortunately I don't know if it can help me, because I am blind and I can't 
see if the manually configured positions are displayed correctly. That's why 
I was hoping that there is a solution that works like the common TT 
templating system.

Thank you.

Octavian
