So, if I understand correctly, you're planning to read the XML document that is embedded inside the portfolio file (i.e., a ZIP file), or perhaps using the File -> Save Custom Output... menu option and choosing XML, and produce a PDF with editable form fields as the output? Using XML:FO, I presume?

That's pretty ambitious, but I'd love to see something like that working. The current approach of using the Ancient One's character sheet (which uses JavaScript to parse the XML data) is quite usable and I like how it executes within the browser and thus doesn't require any other pieces, but the necessary information regarding containers and what are inside them is missing from the XML. Which makes inventory management a PITN.

But anything that encourages people to file bug reports on how the XML output of HL doesn't include necessary information is a win in my book, because we're more likely to see it corrected...

In any case, thanks for your effort!
