Is it possible to populate a PDF's form fields using javascript from a
browser? Google gives a few server side examples but I need it to work
without server side input.

It seems completely odd to do that in the browser-side, since the PDF
file would have already been loaded. Then, the user's browser would
have to rewrite the PDF file 'on the fly'...

Cheers,

I don't want to write an entire PDF I want to update some of the form
field's in an existing PDF. Or does it *have* to happen before the PDF
is loaded?
