this does not mean that we can edit docs, safe forms etc, apart from 
standard reader functionality (i.e. safe doc without changes, or submit 
form data); writing a form safe plugin is a matter of a few lines, but not 
permitted by the plugin licence; i suppose that creating a pdffile with 
form-safe capabilities with an external app (other than the adone server 
app) is quite illegal, although i'm not sure if something like that can be 
covered by licences at all. This mail leave that kind of open.
