[scribus] PDF forms, text boxes within text and baseline alignment

[Steven Dayton]

I wonder if Scribus will get to the point where I wouldn't have to do any
post form work in Acrobat to tweak fields. Right now it does the best job of
authoring forms that I have seen in a non-Acrobat environment. And like what
Johannes said the JavaScript integration is also was impressed me right off.
I made a simple test form when I first got Scribus just to see what would
happen and I didn't really didn't have to do any post form editing on that
simple form. I don't work on very many forms that have inline field within
text so the rare occasion when one of those comes up isn't a real problem
for me but I can see what you are all saying. It would be nice to have some
way to line up fields and contents with more precision than eyeballing it.
