[GLLUG] Form Generator

[Richard Houser]

That's easy.  Just get rid of the intermediate PDF requirement in the
middle and keep it a normal web form for that phase.  If you have to
archive as PDF, to that after the manager takes action.  You can then
either have the manager manually archive it, or use something like
iText to generate a PDF on the serverside.
