Sorry for trying to reach you this way,
but we've got a question about the Chrome/PDFium interaction.

We would like to use Chrome/PDFium to load&save PDF Forms data
(Adobe calls them FDF Data).

I've seen some hints about a PDFium Javascript API, but wasn't able
to find it.

Is there hope for any PDFium API in Chrome?
If so, would it allow to read & write Forms data?

Sincerely, Torsten

Chromium is open source. You can see the available JS message names in
[1]. That said, there is no official API and what you see there can
potentially change at any time. If you want some form JS APIs that
Acrobat Reader's NPAPI plugin has, you should file a bug on crbug.com.
