I think the only approach now is to run the document through an OCR applica=
tion, so that the resulting text will simply be a part of the text layer. I=
t makes me wonder if there is a way to make an OCR external...

XPDF was originally developed by Monte for Researchware, Inc. built on
the open source Google PDFium library, to my specifications.
Later, Livecode acquired the XPDF external (and independently, Monte)

Thanks Paul, that is very helpful. You are correct of course, I cannot sele=
ct the form data. Very unfortunate. I already have a request in to see if X=
PDF can be made to do so. I seem to remember however that XPDF was done by =
another developer and cannot be modified. I could be mistaken though
