[gs-devel] PDF Formularies in Ghostscript

[alcueca]

Hello all, excuses if this information can be found on the documentation, the
issue at hand is a bit complex and after some research is now when I think I
could use some expert advice.

I have a client which desires to code an open-source PDF viewer which would
be able to display forms, allow the user to fill them, and run JavaScript
validation tests on the introduced information.

My company is first researching the feasibility and costs of such a project,
and later we would be responsible for the development of the first
prototype, the client would finish the development and carry the
manteinance. We are looking for open-source pdf libraries and viewers which
we could use or extend for this task.

As far as I know, there are only three open-source libraries, which are the
base for every open-source PDF viewer out there: Ghostscript, xpdf -
poppler, and mupdf. I haven't seen any open-source pdf viewer which supports
forms.

The questions are:

Are formularies supported by the ghostscript library?
are they expected to be supported in near future?
maybe any other of the libraries could be used for this end?
Is there any open-source pdf viewer which supports forms?

Thanks a lot for your attention, cheers,
Alberto
