Creating/filling/printing active forms (like Acrobat Reader forms)

[spavkov]

Hi!

Anybody has experience with creating a delphi program that would allow users to create (design) active forms on virtual sheet of paper (for example A4) with lines, text, edit fields and then these virtual forms could be filled with actual data and printed on real forms..

(print preview is considered a must here also)...

this could be used for filling tax forms etc etc...

this could be done with Acrobat package and pdf format, but im interested in creating a delphi application for this...

any ideas how this could be implemented?

any open source solutions for this?

?

I have been working with quickreports, if you are familiar with that, you could create your forms with it.
When I needed to transform the reports in pdf format, I purchased the EDoc Engine from Gnostice

and voila, just dropping a component on the quickreport form I was able to save it as PDF, word etc..
