> it's harder to take an existing, outdated, non-editable PDF and automatically fill it out.

That has been on my wishlist for several years: build a "PDF annotation" service that takes in a PDF that is not an XObject form (e.g. this random example: https://www.dentalworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Patie... ) and replace those _____ areas with actual PDF inputs. My handwriting is terrible, and it's a waste of human capital for some poor soul to try and decipher handwriting only to (almost undoubtedly) re-type it into a computer on their end

I am sure we ended up in this situation because people just "File > Print to PDF" from Word or whatever, because knowing that PDF forms exist and then how to use Adobe(R) whatever(tm) to make a real editable PDF is "too much to ask."

I have had about 10% success with Preview.app detecting the lines and allowing me to click on them and type, but having https://notstupidpdf.example.com/www.dentalworks.com/wp-cont... would be much better for humanity
