Dear List,BACKGROUND -- I do NOT know about pdf internals, and do not have a licensed copy of Adobe. I am not a 'sophisticated consumer'
I present a problem below [part 1 and part 2 of a single problem] and I am asking the brain-trust --> Do you know of any commercially available pdf tools that can help me? (e.g. online or otherwise; preferably subscription based I am happy to pay $$)
WHAT I NEED --> I want to provide a bunch of text "scripts" and to receive filled-out USPTO pdf forms. Do you know a good TOOL? WHY I NEED IT --> Opening up PDF files manually and then saving one-by-one is slow,distracting, cumbersome, and error-prone. I think I have been working in a 'less than 100% efficient/not sophisticated manner' and want to save time.
IMPORTANT NOTE --I prefer to stick to populating USPTO downloadable-forms , rather than submitting 'homemade forms'
Many Thanks!Bill
THE PROBLEM (PART 1 -- Forms OTHER than ADS) -->
We find that manually preparing and filling out various USPTO pdf forms is burdensome. Towards this end, we are looking for automatic tools to do so - preferably driven by text commands.
For example, mimicking an email to a paralegal --> Please provide blank inventor oaths for new US nonprovisional entitled "New Technology Methods" with 3 inventors: Sara Smith, Jamal Harrison, and Steven Jones.
Then I would get back back 3 blank inventor oaths.
Similar story for POAs, etc
THE PROBLEM (PART 2 -- ADS forms).
I would want this for ADS forms but I think ADS forms have a different structure - they cannot be displayed on browsers [maybe ADS forms are XFA-based pdf forms???]
For example, I would want to provide a TEXT set of instructions to generate a new PDF file.
"please provide a new ADS" [for the above invention] --> "domestic benefit claims are CURRENT is a CON of (pending) US 19000000 filed on Dec 15, 2024"
or BETTER YET -->"please provide a blank ADS of a 371 national stage of PCT/US2024/XXXXXXX" or "please provide a blank ADS for a new continuation of
