PB 2022 Build 1892. Probably moving to R3 in a couple months.
I haven't tried the new PDFBuilder object.
I'm wondering if it is possible to use it to populate PDF form fields.
My hope is that I can download the W-2 PDF from the IRS, loop through rows in a DataStore, place the person's information on the form PDF, and then save a copy named with their employee id. I would create an 'All Employees' PDF by combining the individual ones. Ideally I could delete the individual PDF after adding it to the 'All Employees' PDF so there would only be 1 or 2 files at any one time.
Currently we use image files on a DataWindow. The form part works okay but the instructions page isn't very readable.
Will this work?
