[reportlab-users] better way?

[Tim Johnson]

I have pretty much the same issue. 
See my post:
"Parsing PDF files"

I am thus far pretty disappointed that there has been no response, and I
hope that you get responses aside from my own.

I have been thinking of something similarly to what we do with HTML
documents with forms. We parse those documents into python data
structures, which can then be edited, enchanced, used as front ends for
databases, etc.

To do something like this with reportlab and pdf would be wonderful.

You're on the right track Richard, I hope there are more responses to
your inquiry.
