I have a pdf that has blank boxes that are editable. Is there a way to write to them? Attaching sample pdf to show how the pdf would look.

I checked at Adbobe.com.

It seems it is a TextField.

 

But I the fme reader/writer does not access that parameter; if you fill the box in the pdf and have fme read the pdf, the filled in text is nowhere to be seen.

I tried writing the field pdf_text_field. (if it's called that) But all it did was move the text box name.

 

So it seems not possible afaik.
