Invoices, eh? Create yourself a PDF the way you want it to look, add in
the form fields wherever data would be different between invoices, then
look at that URL above. As long as you are matching field names, you can
generate the appropriate FDF data to send to the browser with the PDF
headers so that it *seems* like you are generating the entire PDF. ;)
